1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp cinnamon sugar

Step 3: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling onto each tortilla, then roll each one tightly to enclose the filling.
Step 4: Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Tips & Variations

Use room-temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother filling.
Don’t overfill tortillas to prevent breaking and leaking during cooking.
If tortillas crack when rolling, lightly mist them with water to make them pliable.
Try corn tortillas for an extra crunchy twist; check cooking time at 5 minutes as they cook faster.
Swap blueberries for raspberries or diced strawberries for a different berry flavor.
Add lemon zest to the filling for a bright, fresh twist.
Rotate taquitos halfway through cooking for even browning and crispiness.
Serve with whipped cream or extra fresh berries for an elegant touch.

Storage

Store any leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for about 2 minutes to restore their crispiness. They’re best enjoyed warm and fresh, so plan to eat them soon after cooking.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use frozen berries?

Absolutely! Just thaw them completely and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps prevent the filling from becoming too runny.

Can I bake these instead of air frying?

Yes, you can bake them at 400°F for about 12 minutes until golden. They may not be quite as crispy as air-fried taquitos but will still be delicious.
