To prepare these taquitos, you can use either an oven or an air fryer. For oven preparation, preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the packaging. Arrange the taquitos in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for the recommended time, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and heated through.
