For a quick and easy breakfast, these air fryer taquitos are filled with a cheesy egg mixture and your favorite salsa.

Taquitos are a popular Mexican street food that are typically made with corn tortillas filled with meat, cheese, or beans. They are then fried or grilled until golden brown and crispy. Air fryer taquitos are a healthier alternative to traditional taquitos, as they are cooked with less oil. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients, such as eggs, cheese, and vegetables. I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a quick and easy way to make breakfast for my family. I had some leftover eggs and cheese in the fridge, and I thought it would be fun to try making taquitos with them. The air fryer made them so crispy and delicious, and my family loved them. Since then, I've been making these taquitos all the time. They are a great way to start the day, and they are also perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
