FAQs
Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?
Flour tortillas work best for rolling and crisping, but you can try soft corn tortillas if you prefer. Just be gentle when rolling to prevent cracking.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
Preheating is optional but can help the taquitos cook evenly and crisp up faster.
