My kids really love tacos, I try to change them up, otherwise, I get really bored with eating them. So, last week we ate at a local Mexican restaurant and my son ordered Mjo Tacos, so I did some investigating no how to make them, and now I know why he loves them, they are awesome. You can literally eat the meat by itself, it’s so good.
If have you have not made ground meat in the air fryer, here is a recap, it works for any type of ground meat, pork, beef or turkey, even lamb.
Break up your ground beef and place it in an air fryer safe pan.
Place in your air fryer and set the temperature to 400 degrees F. for 5 minutes after 5 minutes check your beef to see if it was cooked, all the way through, mine was so I removed, if it is not, mix and add another few minutes.
