  • 2 teaspoons Tabasco chipotle sauce plus extra for serving
  • 9.5 ounces light sour cream
  • 2 cobs of corn kernels removed
  • 1 can black beans 15 ounces, drained and rinsed
  • cup shredded cheddar

For the Guacamole:

  • 2 medium avocados
  • 1 green onion finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro stems

For Toppings:

  • Cilantro leaves
  • Sliced fresh jalapenos
  • Quartered cherry tomatoes
  • Sliced red onion

Instructions

  • Wrap the corn tortillas in foil.
  • Pull out the pan and basket of a 5- or 6-quart air fryer.
  • Place the tortillas in the basket.
  • Slide the pan and basket back into the appliance.
  • Set the temperature to 350˚F and set the timer for 5 minutes to preheat the air fryer and soften the tortillas.
  • Meanwhile, shred the meat from the rotisserie chicken, discarding the skin and bones.
  • In a bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, Tabasco chipotle sauce, and half of the sour cream.
  • Add the shredded chicken, corn kernels, and black beans.
  • Mix well.
  • To make the Guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocados into a bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients (green onion, garlic, lime juice, red chile, and cilantro stems) and mash everything together using a potato masher.
  • Season the Guacamole with salt and pepper.
  • Carefully pull out the air-fryer pan and basket, and remove the tortillas.
  • Working with one tortilla at a time and keeping the others covered, place a twelfth of the chicken mixture along the bottom of a tortilla in a line, then roll it up.
  • Secure it with a toothpick if necessary.
  • Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
  • Line the basket with parchment paper, then place half of the taquitos side by side in the basket.
  • Scatter half of the shredded cheddar on top.
  • Keep the temperature set at 350˚F and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  • Cook until the taquitos are heated through and golden.
  • Transfer the cooked taquitos to a plate and cover to keep them warm.
  • Repeat the cooking process with the remaining taquitos and cheddar.
  • Top the taquitos with the remaining sour cream, Guacamole, cilantro leaves, sliced jalapenos, quartered cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and extra chipotle sauce.
  • Serve with lime wedges.
  • Enjoy your delicious chicken taquitos with creamy guacamole and a variety of tasty toppings!
