For Serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the shredded turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cheese.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into each tortilla.
  4. Roll the tortillas tightly and tuck in the ends.
  5. Secure with toothpicks if necessary and place seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Spray the taquitos lightly with oil.
  2. Air fry at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
