Description

Air Fryer Dessert Taco Shells -- Have you ever wondered how to add a delightful twist to your classic tacos? Well, look no further! Have you heard about air fryer dessert taco shells?

Ingredients 

  • 5 medium-large flour tortilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker, crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Using a biscuit cutter (or even a small drinking glass), cut three circles in the tortilla,  being careful not to overlap. Repeat with each tortilla until you use up your tortillas.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F; preheat for 3-5 minutes using the air fryer setting. Fold a piece of foil into three separate sections, pinching the ends to make a sort of “ taco holder.” Place the foil inside the air fryer basket.
  • In a small bowl, crack one egg. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and remaining granulated sugar in a separate bowl. Dip a tortilla circle into the egg, letting any excess drip off in the egg bowl. Then dip it into the graham cracker crumb mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  • Without touching the sides together,  fold the sides up together like a taco shell. Place the folded tortilla into one of the sections you made in the foil. Repeat until you have 4-6 taco shells sitting in the foil. None of these should overlap, but it is ok if they touch. Place the foil into the air fryer basket, and cook for about 8-12 minutes. 
  • When they are golden brown and crispy, you can remove them from the heat and place them on a cookie rack to cool. Repeat until you’ve cooked all of the tortillas!
  • Allow the shells to cool completely before filling.
