Set a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles, for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and 160°F. Stir in the taco seasoning, half the salt, and the water to moisten the meat.
Take the skillet off the heat. Stir in the refried beans and diced tomatoes until the beans are well incorporated and the mixture is thick. Let the filling cool for 2 minutes to make rolling easier.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds until pliable. Place a portion of filling in a line down the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and secure each with a toothpick.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the taquitos in the basket, seam-side down. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more until golden and crispy.
While the taquitos fry, whisk the milk and cornstarch in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat for 2 minutes until steaming, then remove from the heat. Whisk in the shredded cheese and the remaining salt until the sauce is smooth and thick.
Place the hot taquitos on a plate and remove the toothpicks. Drizzle the warm cheese sauce evenly over the top.
