These Air Fryer Taquitos will be a family favorite in no time. They are delicious and super fun to eat and they are also simple to make in the air fryer with just seasoned ground beef, cheese, and tortillas!
Add spices and tomato paste, stir to combine cook until meat is cooked through and no longer pink.
Preheat Air Fryer to 400 degrees.
Place a tortilla on a plate, add about 3 tablespoons of ground beef in the center and then top with shredded cheeses.
Roll tortilla and secure filling with a toothpick along the seam.
Repeat steps 4-5 with the remaining tortillas.
When the Air Fryer is hot, spray or brush the tray with olive oil and place the taquitos in a single layer on the tray, seam side up. Brush the tops of the taquitos with more olive oil. Cook the taquitos for 4 minutes, remove the toothpicks, flip, and cook for 4 more minutes.
Serve immediately and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream for dipping and shredding iceberg lettuce on the side.
Notes
Can I make these for a crowd?
If you are making these taquitos as an appetizer for a party they can be cut in half for a more mini size they can be kept warm in a 200-degree oven while you make additional batches.
What do I do if my tortillas are breaking?
If your tortillas are difficult to roll you can warm them slightly in the microwave before assembling.
Can I substitute any of the ingredients?
You can substitute cooked chicken or refried beans in the filling for the beef if you wish.
