To prepare, these taquitos can be heated in an oven, microwave, or air fryer. For oven preparation, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and heat until golden brown and heated through. In a microwave, arrange them on a plate and heat for a few minutes, flipping halfway. Air frying offers a very crispy result; place them in the basket and cook until hot and crispy. Ensure they are thoroughly heated before serving.
