Notes
- Air Fryer Option: Heat the taquitos in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, then assemble with sauce and cheese and bake in the oven for 10 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Make It Spicier: Use a spicier enchilada sauce or add diced jalapeños before baking.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
