TIL air frying frozen taquitos is way better than baking them

I was super skeptical when my neighbor in Phoenix showed me her method for frozen taquitos in the air fryer. Took me 3 tries to get the timing right at 380 degrees for 8 minutes, but they come out crispy all the way through instead of soggy on one side. Has anyone else found a specific frozen snack that just doesn't work the same in a regular oven anymore?

Skip the oven entirely now. Air fryer changed the game.

@xenagarcia oh man you're so right. I got an air fryer last year and my oven has been collecting dust ever since. It heats up way faster and everything comes out crispier without having to wait forever. I used to roast veggies in the oven and they'd come out soggy half the time but in the air fryer they're perfect in like 10 minutes. Even reheating pizza works better than the microwave or oven ever did. Honestly I don't see myself going back unless I'm cooking for a crowd or something.

heats up way faster" - that alone won me over, my oven takes forever just to preheat.
