Crispy Beef Taquitos - Ultimate Crunch!
Enjoy ultimate crunch with these savory beef taquitos, featuring seasoned ground beef and melty cheddar cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil (for cooking filling)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion (diced)
- 1 ounce taco seasoning (1 packet - 3 Tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8-12 corn or flour tortillas (about 5—7 inch sized)
- Oil (for spraying)
- Guacamole
- Shredded Lettuce or Cabbage
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion, breaking up the beef. Cook until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup sour cream until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly, tucking in the ends if possible. Place seam-side down.
- Lightly spray the taquitos with oil. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 6-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like guacamole, salsa, sour cream, shredded lettuce, and lime wedges.

- Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
