AIR-FRYER TACO KABOBS

Air-Fryer Taco Kabobs image

We typically think of the grill when making kabobs but your air fryer does an equally good job in the same amount of time. Sometimes I'll add a drop or two of liquid smoke to the marinade to give it that grilled flavor. -Dixie Terry, Goreville, Illinois

Tips:

For best results, use a lean cut of beef, such as sirloin or flank steak. This will help prevent the kebabs from becoming dry.
Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes. This will ensure that the kebabs cook evenly.
Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor.
Use a variety of vegetables for your kebabs. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and tomatoes.
Skewer the beef and vegetables in a alternating pattern. This will help prevent the kebabs from falling apart.
Lightly oil the air fryer basket before cooking the kebabs. This will help prevent the kebabs from sticking.
Cook the kebabs at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through.
Serve the kebabs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
