How to Make Crispy Dill Pickle Ranch Step-by-Step

Step 4: Preheat and Prep for Rolling: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Warm a stack of tortillas in a damp paper towel in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.

Step 6: Roll Them Up: Starting from the side with the filling, tightly roll the tortilla into a cylinder and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket.
Step 7: Prepare for Cooking: Lightly brush or spray the rolled taquitos with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 8: Cook Your Taquitos: Bake for 15-20 minutes, air fry for 10-15 minutes, or shallow fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
