Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos

Gather all necessary components for the dish. \nHeat a suitable amount of oil in a skillet over an intermediate heat setting, typically around 4-5 on a scale of 1-10. Add the onion; cook until it becomes soft and loses its initial firmness, taking approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook until it emits a pleasant aroma, lasting roughly about 1 minute. Combine the green chiles and Mexican tomato sauce in a single bowl; stir until they are well-blended. Add the shredded chicken, Mexican cheese blend, and Neufchâtel cheese; cook and stir until the cheeses have melted and the mixture is warmed through, approximately 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.\nHeat tortillas in a skillet or directly on the surface of a gas stove, allowing them to become soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla; fold over and roll into taquitos.\nPreheat an air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Arrange the taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching one another. Mist with avocado oil to prevent sticking.\nCook the taquitos until they turn golden brown, taking approximately 6 to 9 minutes. Turn them over; mist with avocado oil, and air fry until crispy, taking about 3 to 5 minutes.
