Description
These Irresistible Air Fryer Cherry Pie Taquitos are a quick and delightful dessert that combines the classic flavors of cherry pie with the crispy, golden texture of taquitos. Perfect for a fast treat, they are made by rolling cherry pie filling inside soft flour tortillas, air frying until crispy, and dusting with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can Cherry Pie Filling (substitute with blueberry or apple pie filling for variety)
Taquito Wrapper
- 8 large Soft Flour Tortillas (can swap in puff pastry for a different texture)
Finishing
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted (for a dairy-free option, use coconut oil instead)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (consider a cinnamon sugar mixture for an extra burst of flavor)
Instructions
- Lay Out Tortillas: Carefully place your soft flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling evenly across the center of each tortilla to prepare them for rolling.
- Roll Tightly: Gently roll each tortilla tightly around the pie filling to form taquitos. Brush the outside of each rolled taquito with melted butter to ensure a golden and crispy finish when cooked.
- Air Fry: Arrange the rolled taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not stacked to allow for even cooking and crispiness on all sides.
- Cook Until Golden: Air fry the taquitos at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes. Keep an eye on them and cook until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Dust and Serve: Carefully remove the taquitos from the air fryer and while still warm, sprinkle them generously with powdered sugar or your choice of desired topping. Serve immediately to enjoy their warm, crispy, and sweet flavor.
Notes
- Substitute cherry pie filling with blueberry or apple pie filling for a different flavor.
- Use puff pastry instead of flour tortillas for a flakier texture.
- For a dairy-free recipe, replace butter with melted coconut oil.
- Try cinnamon sugar as an alternative to powdered sugar for a spiced twist.
- Ensure taquitos are spaced apart in the air fryer basket to cook evenly and become crispy.
