Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the best choice for air fryer tacos because they are crispy and hold their shape well. You can also use flour tortillas, but they may not be as crispy.
  • Heat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before cooking the tacos. This will help the tortillas get crispy.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: Cook the tacos in batches so that they have enough space to cook evenly.
  • Cook the tacos for 2-3 minutes per side: This will give the tortillas time to get crispy and the fillings time to heat through.
  • Top the tacos with your favorite toppings: Once the tacos are cooked, top them with your favorite toppings, such as ground beef, chicken, fish, vegetables, cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
