3. Place in a preheated oven or air fryer and cook for ten to twelve minutes.
4. Roughly chop the cilantro, lettuce, tomato, and onion. If you do not like the toppings that are included, you can substitute other vegetables and herbs.
5. When the taquitos have been in the oven for the allotted amount of time, remove the pan from the oven and pour two cups of enchilada sauce on top of the taquitos.
6. After that, finish off the taquitos by dusting them with the Mexican cheese blend.
7. Place the pan back in the oven for approximately ten minutes, or until the cheese has melted to the point where it can be seen.
