Air Fryer Cherry Pie Taquitos
Delightful crispy taquitos filled with warm cherry filling and cream cheese, perfect for gatherings or a sweet indulgence.
Ingredients
For the taquitos
- 10 pieces small flour tortillas
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- as needed spray cooking spray For air frying
- as needed powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. Then, gently fold in the cherry pie filling.
Assembly
- Take a tortilla and add 2-3 tablespoons of the cherry filling mixture along one edge.
- Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. This will help keep the filling inside while it cooks.
Air Frying
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the basket and spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.
- Set your air fryer temperature to 375°F (190°C) and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Dust and Serve
- Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Notes
Tips: Don’t overfill, keep it tightly rolled, and preheat your air fryer for best results. Explore flavor alternatives like blueberry filling or chocolate hazelnut spread.
