Heat a pan and add a little oil.

Add chopped leftover pulled pork to the pan.

Add fajita seasoning and a couple of tablespoons of homemade smoked salsa to the pork.

Heat the mixture until it gets a good char.

Set the pork mixture aside.

Heat another pan to warm the corn tortillas until soft and pliable.

Add a little oil to the tortillas to assist in air frying.

Heat the tortillas on medium heat until you see bubbles, but do not brown them.

Take a tortilla, add filling, and roll it up seam side down.

Place the rolled taquitos in the air fryer.

Preheat the air fryer to 325°F, then increase to 350°F if needed.

Spray the bottom of the air fryer with olive oil before placing the taquitos inside.

Cook the taquitos for about 10 minutes until they are brown and crunchy.

Serve the taquitos with beans and rice, and drizzle hot cheese sauce and smoked salsa over them.
