Open the rotisserie chicken and shred it using two forks to get around 3 cups of shredded chicken.

Put the shredded chicken into a bowl.

Add 8 ounces of cream cheese to the shredded chicken.

Add 1/2 cup of salsa verde to the bowl.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of cumin powder, 1/2 tablespoon of chili powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder to the mixture.

Mix everything together until well combined and thick.

Prepare the guacamole by cutting up 2 avocados and scooping them into a bowl.

Mash the avocados and add 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 cup of tomatoes (saving a little for later), and 1 cup of finely chopped white onions (saving a little for later), and 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro.

Mix the guacamole ingredients together and set aside.

Microwave 7 corn tortillas for 30 seconds to soften them.

Take some of the shredded chicken and place it in the center of a tortilla, add some shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top, and fold it up tightly.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.

Place the taquitos in the air fryer basket and spray them with cooking oil.

Cook the taquitos in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 6 minutes.

Remove the taquitos from the air fryer using a spatula and top with guacamole, white onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and sour cream.
