Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Taquitos
- 6 small flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful to keep them intact.
- Assemble the taquitos: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling onto each flour tortilla, then roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling without overfilling to prevent breaking.
- Brush and coat: Lightly brush each rolled tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar for a sweet and crispy coating.
- Air fry the taquitos: Place the taquitos in the air fryer basket without crowding, set the temperature to 375°F (190°C), and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving for the best texture contrast between crispy exterior and creamy interior.
Notes
- Use room-temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
- Don’t overfill tortillas to prevent breaking.
- Serve with whipped cream or extra blueberries for added indulgence.
- Chill the filling for 15 minutes if too soft to make rolling easier.
- Lightly mist tortillas with water if cracking occurs when rolling.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to maintain crispiness.
