Description

These Air Fryer Cherry Pie Taquitos are a quick and easy dessert featuring warm, crispy flour tortillas filled with sweet cherry pie filling. Perfectly golden and lightly dusted with powdered sugar, they bring a deliciously fun twist to classic cherry pie with minimal effort using the air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 can cherry pie filling (21-ounce)

Taquitos

  • 12 medium soft flour tortillas
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to make rolling easier and more uniform.
  2. Fill the tortillas: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling evenly across the center of each tortilla. Be careful not to overfill to ensure tight rolling.
  3. Roll the taquitos: Roll each tortilla tightly around the cherry filling to enclose it fully, creating a neat cylinder.
  4. Brush with butter: Using a pastry brush, generously coat each rolled taquito with the melted butter. This helps achieve a golden, crispy finish during air frying.
  5. Arrange in air fryer: Place the taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer without stacking or overlapping to allow even cooking.
  6. Air fry: Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the taquitos turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  7. Serve: Remove carefully from the air fryer, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm for a delightful dessert.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the tortillas to ensure the taquitos roll tightly without bursting.
  • Use a soft flour tortilla for easy rolling and better texture.
  • Serving size is about 2 taquitos per person.
  • Powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice touch of sweetness and presentation.
  • Air frying times may vary depending on your air fryer model; check for golden color and crispiness.
