Tips For The Best Air Fried Breakfast Tacos

Air frying is all the rage these days. And for good reason! It’s a healthier alternative to deep frying, and it can be just as delicious. If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy breakfast tacos, try air frying them. Here are a few tips to ensure that your air-fried breakfast tacos are the best they can be:

  • Use a corn tortilla. Corn tortillas are sturdier than flour tortillas, so they won’t fall apart in the air fryer. Plus, they have a nice flavor that pairs well with cheesy eggs and spicy salsa.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. If you try to cook too many tacos at once, they’ll start to stick together and won’t get that nice crispy texture. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Preheat the air fryer. This will help to ensure that your tacos cook evenly. Simply set the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and let it run for about 5 minutes before adding the tacos.
  • Use a light coating of oil. You don’t need to drench the tacos in oil, but a light spraying will help them to crisp up nicely.
  • Don’t forget the toppings! Breakfast tacos are best enjoyed with all of your favorite toppings, like cheese, sour cream, and avocado. So load them up and enjoy!

Variations On Breakfast Tacos

Breakfast tacos are versatile dishes that can be customized to suit any taste. The most basic breakfast taco consists of a soft tortilla filled with eggs, cheese, and salsa. However, there are endless possibilities for toppings and fillings. For a heartier meal, try adding potatoes, ham, or bacon.

For a vegetarian option, try subbing in black beans or tofu. And for a sweet twist, try adding some fruit or drizzling on some honey. No matter what you put in them, breakfast tacos are sure to hit the spot. So next time you’re looking for something new for breakfast, give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.

What To Serve With Breakfast Tacos

There are endless possibilities when it comes to side dishes to serve with breakfast tacos. For a traditional Mexican-inspired meal, try serving refried beans and/or rice. If you’re looking for something a little lighter, a simple green salad is a great option. And for those mornings when you’re in the mood for something sweet, fresh fruit is always a delicious choice. No matter what you decide to serve, your guests are sure to enjoy their breakfast tacos!
