  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup green chili salsa
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican style chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili lime seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1 small red bell pepper diced
  • 2 stalks green onion sliced thin

Instructions

  • Into a medium-size mixing bowl, add chopped chicken, pepper jack cheese, softened cream cheese, green chili salsa, and mix well. 
  • Add the fresh lime juice, Mexican style chili powder, cumin, minced garlic, red bell peppers, sliced green onion, and mix again. 
  • Layout 2-3 three flour tortillas at a time and fill them each with three tablespoons of the chicken mixture and roll the flour tortillas tightly with the chicken filling in the center of the tortilla. 
  • Continue the process until you have filled the Ninja baking sheet with ten (10) loaded chicken taquitos.
  • Lightly spray the taquitos with the extra virgin olive oil cooking spray, then top them with 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese. 
  • Place the cooking sheet on the middle rack, close the door, turn on the Ninja Air Fryer, select the Air Fryer function, and then set the timer for 12 minutes.
  • When finished, the taquitos should be golden brown, and the cheese should be melted. 
  • Remove the Air Fryer Loaded Chicken Taquitos from the oven, then top with more green chili salsa, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro,  and sliced jalapeños.
  • Serve.
