Ingredients
Crab Rangoon Taquitos
- 6 corn tortillas
- 6 light mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 1 package imitation crab finely chopped or shredded
- red pepper flakes to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- onion powder to taste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
- sesame seeds for topping
- cooking spray as needed
For Serving
- sweet chili sauce for dipping
Equipment
- Pastry Brush for the egg wash
Method
- Finely chop or shred the imitation crab. Season with red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Warm the corn tortillas until soft and pliable so they don’t crack when rolled.
- Divide the seasoned crab evenly among the 6 tortillas. Place one whole light mozzarella stick on top of the crab in each tortilla.
- Tightly roll each tortilla around the crab and mozzarella, placing it seam-side down.
- Brush the outside of each taquito with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Lightly coat with cooking spray if needed for extra browning and crispness.
- Place seam-side down in the air fryer, leaving a little space between each taquito. Air fry at 380°F for approximately 8–10 minutes, flipping if needed, until the tortillas are golden and crisp and the mozzarella is melted. Watch closely toward the end so the cheese doesn’t completely escape.
- Let cool for 1–2 minutes, then serve warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Notes
- Warm the corn tortillas until pliable so they do not crack while rolling.
- Watch closely near the end of air frying so the mozzarella does not completely escape.
