Traditionally deep-fried until crispy and golden, flautas are basically rolled tacos packed with flavorful ingredients and served with my homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinnytaste.com\/guacamole-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\">guacamole<\/a> or tangy sour cream for dipping. My lighter Air Fryer Flautas skips the deep fryer and uses the air fryer instead, giving you the same irresistible crunch with much less oil.

They\u2019re very similar to taquitos, but the main difference is the type of tortilla used. Flautas typically use flour tortillas, while taquitos use smaller corn tortillas. However, you can choose whichever you prefer. Flour tortillas are more pliable, making them easier to handle, so I often use those.<\/p>\n<div id=\"callout-box-block_0ef2f38937debd907954cef28877328b\" class=\"callout-box-block callout-box-style-1\">\n<p><h2 class=\"callout-box-title\"><span class=\"callout-box-icon webicon-bookmark\"\/> Ingredients You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout-box-content\">\n<p>Here are the ingredients for this easy air fryer flauta recipe. <strong>See the recipe card below for the exact measurements.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162874 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinnytaste.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Air-Fryer-Flautas-1.jpg\" alt=\"Flauta ingredients; shredded chicken, cheese, tortilla, pico de gallo\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-description=\"Try these easy Air Fryer Chicken Flautas with less oil and all the flavor!
