Air Fryer Breakfast Taquitos with Salsa

Air fryer breakfast taquitos are a quick and easy way to get your day started. They're made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be customized to your liking. Plus, they're so much better than the frozen ones from the grocery store!

I first had breakfast taquitos at a Mexican restaurant in college. I was instantly hooked on their crispy, cheesy goodness. But I didn't want to spend a lot of money on them every time I wanted to eat them. So I started experimenting with making my own at home. After a few tries, I came up with this recipe for air fryer breakfast taquitos. They're just as good as the ones from the restaurant, but they're much cheaper and easier to make.
