These chicken taquitos are a healthier twist on a classic snack. They maintain their signature crispiness and flavor all while being lower in calories and fat. I used an air fryer to cook these rather than the traditional way of deep frying them to get that crunchy exterior and I was seriously impressed. I also made this version to be dairy-free and gluten-free just for my personal preference but feel free to substitute ingredients to your liking. This recipe is really delicious and one you are sure to love!
