Notes
Heat flour tortillas in the microwave for 5 second to soften if needed to help tightly roll.If baking vs. air frying, you may want to add a couple extra minutes of cook time to get them extra crispy. Keep an eye on them toward the end of the cook time and pull them out when they turn golden brown.*Brush rolled taquitos with butter or oil before baking or air frying if you'd like a crispier shell.
