Steps
- 1
Cook ground beef, drain fat. Add taco seasoning and water, simmer until thickened. Cool slightly.
- 2
Stir in cheese and green chiles.
- 3
Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling on each tortilla. Roll tightly, place seam-side down.
- 4
Spray with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- 5
Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and shredded lettuce.
Tip: Flour tortillas work better than corn here — they crisp up without cracking. Roll them tight or they unravel. Seam-side down first so they seal shut. Let the filling cool a bit before rolling or the tortillas get soggy.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 10 minutes vs ~18 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
