Air Fryer Steak Tacos
Description
These air fryer steak tacos are a fast, flavorful way to get tender, juicy ribeye into a warm tortilla. Marinated in lime and taco seasoning and cooked hot in the air fryer, they're an easy Taco Tuesday dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 small tortillas
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, cheese, sour cream, salsa
Instructions
- Whisk together taco seasoning, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil to make the marinade.
- Place the ribeye in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over, and coat well.
- Seal and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry, and let sit at room temperature briefly.
- Place the steak in the basket in a single layer, without crowding; cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until it reaches your preferred doneness.
- Rest the steak a few minutes, then slice thin against the grain.
- Warm the tortillas in the air fryer 1 to 2 minutes.
- Fill the tortillas with steak, add toppings, and serve immediately.
Equipment
- Parchment Paper, optional
- Cooking Spray, optional
Notes
- Slice thin and against the grain for the most tender tacos.
- Pat the steak dry before cooking so it browns instead of steams.
- Don't overcrowd the basket; batch it for a proper sear.
- Use a meat thermometer: 135°F medium-rare, 145°F medium, 155°F medium-well.
