Air Fryer Walking Tacos
Description
Seasoned taco meat, melty cheese, and fresh toppings piled into crushed tortilla chips. The air fryer cooks the beef in 10 minutes with no skillet, so they're perfect for game day or a crowd.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, homemade or store-bought
- 3 tablespoons water
- 6 snack-size, 1-ounce bags Nacho Cheese Doritos or Fritos
- 1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Crumble the ground beef into an air fryer-safe pan and air fry for 5 minutes.
- Break up the beef with a spatula and air fry 3 to 5 minutes more, until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F.
- Carefully drain the grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then air fry 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Gently crush the chips in each closed bag, then cut each bag open along the long side.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup taco meat into each bag and top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, olives, and green onions. Serve with a fork.
Equipment
- 7-inch air fryer-safe pan
- Spatula
Notes
- Air fryers vary; check the beef at the 8-minute mark.
- To cook the beef directly in the basket, put a little water in the drawer to catch grease.
- Leftover taco meat keeps 4 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
