Air-Fried Shrimp Taquitos Recipe

Shrimp Taquitos

Ingredients

• pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and coarsely chopped
• 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 ounces nacho Cheddar cheese sauce
• 12 corn tortillas
• (16 ounce) can refried beans
• 1 serving cooking spray

Directions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, minced jalapeno, taco seasoning, and olive oil. Stir well to ensure the shrimp is evenly coated.

Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp mixture and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese sauce. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Preheat the air fryer to 400F (200C).

Step 4: Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for about 20 seconds until warm.

Step 5: Spoon 1 tablespoon of refried beans and 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla up tightly to form a taquito.

Step 6: Working in batches, place a single layer of taquitos in the air fryer basket, seam-side down. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.

Step 7: Air fry the taquitos for 6 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8: Repeat with the remaining taquitos until all are cooked.
