Pork Taquitos Recipe

Homemade Pork Taquitos in the Ninja Foodi Please refer all ** marks to Disclosure statement at the bottom of my post, also feel free to visit my Disclosure Page page on the bar on the right hand side of my blog. Links may be included in this post. Summary: This is my recipe for pork taquitos using the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer. I will include the vlog of me making these if you would like to see the video: I left my thoughts on this at the bottom, because let's be honest, everyone scrolls past that to get right to the recipe anyway. Let's get right into the recipe Cook time: 1 hour 5 minutes Prep time: 15 minutes Yield: 15 taquitos For the ingredients in the pork mixture inside the taquito, you will need:  Pork Loin: I used the Tyson brand and I bought it from Walmart, I believe it was 2-3 lbs and cost around $8. Shredded Cheese: They didn't have a taco seasoned shredded cheese so I used Colby Jack. You will need 2 cups. Sour Cream: I used the Daisy brand and bought the 24 oz container. You will need 1 1/2 cups. Salt: 2 teaspoons Flour Tortillas: I used the ortega brand, you will need 2 packages as they come in a 10 pack and you will need 15. For the ingredients in the meat rub, you will need:  Brown sugar: Packed onto the measuring spoon, 3 tbsp. Paprika: 1 1/2 tbsp. Salt: 2 tsp. Garlic Powder: 1 tsp. Onion Powder: 1/2 tsp. Cumin: 1 2sp. Cut the loin into 3-4 inch sections. Remove any extra fat. Rub the seasoning all over the meat, dust off any extra (as this rub does pick up a lot), let rest for 5 - 10 minutes.  You will also need these for the liquid in the bottom of the pot:  Water: 2 cup. Dr Pepper: 1 cups. Let's get cooking: Add the fryer basket to the pot. Next, add the liquid right over the fryer basket into the pot. Place the seasoned meat into the fryer basket. Sprinkle some brown sugar over the meat. Place the pressure cooking lid on the pot and lock into place, making sure the seal valve is set to 'seal'. Turn the instant pot on and set on high setting to pressure cook for an hour and 5 minutes. Once done, release pressure valve and open lid once pressure pin has went down. Transfer meat with a large spoon into a large bowl, shred meat with a fork. Do not add liquid to the meat. Let cool for 10 minutes, then add in salt, sour cream, and cheese. Roll 'em up: Using a plate, place a tortilla flat on the plate. Add some of the pork mixture using a fork in the middle of the tortilla and roll up. Seam should be on the bottom. Empty out liquid from pot, replace with new water (exact amount doesn't matter, 1-2 cups should be fine). Place taquito into fryer basket, 5 will fit. Air fry for texture: Using the air fryer function, set to 8 minutes at 400 degrees, turning over once during cooking. Once done frying, place on a baking sheet to cool. Store as you would like - I personally like to freeze mine in a ziploc bag. And that's it, all done! My closing thoughts I really enjoyed making these. Of course they are different than the taquitos bought in a store. I found these to be more filling and that they taste better. A quick simple snack to pull out of the freezer and pop in the microwave when needed. And who doesn't love quick and easy? I hope you enjoyed my recipe, come back next time to see what else I'm cooking up! *Hint* It's a dairy item, and the Ninja Foodi has a specific function for it.
