Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and let it heat up for a few minutes, this will ensure that the taco shells cook evenly and become crispy.
  • While your air fryer is heating up, prepare your taco shells. Take the number of taco shells you need and heat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
  • Next, lightly spray your taco shells with non-stick cooking spray. This will help them get crispy and golden brown in the air fryer, be sure to spray both sides of the taco shells to ensure even cooking.
  • Place them in the air fryer basket in the taco shell stands. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Cook your taco shells in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes, depending on how crispy you like them. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn.
  • Once your taco shells are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Let them cool for a few minutes before filling them with your favorite taco ingredients.
  • Now it's time to fill your taco shells with your favorite ingredients. Whether you prefer ground beef with taco seasoning, chicken, or veggies, the possibilities are endless.
  • Top them off with shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa, and any other toppings you like.
