AIR FRYER BREAKFAST TACOS



Air Fryer Breakfast Tacos image

This clever recipe uses silicone ice cube stick molds to quickly create the components for breakfast tacos in an air fryer. One mold holds corn tortillas in a U-shape so they transform into hard taco shells while they cook. Another mold holds beaten eggs, which cook at the same time as the tortillas. Pop the finished "scrambled" eggs out of the mold, then stuff them into the cheese-filled taco shells. Add some spicy mayo, tomatoes and avocado and the result is an extra-crispy, extra-tasty breakfast treat.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for the molds
4 large eggs
Kosher salt
Four 6-inch corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tomato, seeded and diced
1 avocado, cubed

Steps:

  • Spray 1 silicone ice cube stick mold with four 2 1/2-ounce cavities with nonstick spray. Transfer the mold to the basket of a 6-quart air fryer, pushing it to one side to make room for a second mold.
  • Whisk together the eggs in a liquid measuring cup until no white streaks remain. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Carefully pour the eggs into the cavities of the mold, dividing evenly.
  • Stack the corn tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until warm and flexible, about 1 minute. Very gently fold one tortilla in half and press the folded edge down into 1 cavity of a second ice cube stick mold, working carefully so the tortilla doesn't break. It should now be shaped like a hard taco shell. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Divide the cheese among the shells, tapping it down evenly into the bottoms, and transfer the mold to the basket of the air fryer next to the mold with the eggs.
  • Set the air fryer to 300 degrees F and cook for 12 minutes. The cheese in the shells should be melted; transfer the mold with the taco shells to a work surface.
  • Gently lift each section of egg from the mold so you can see if it's set. If there's no liquid egg on the bottom, transfer the mold to your work surface. If there is liquid egg on the bottom, cook for up to 1 minute more.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise and hot sauce in a small bowl.
  • Let the molds stand just until the taco shells and eggs are cool enough to handle, about 1 minute. Remove the taco shells and eggs from the molds. Place the eggs in the taco shells and top with some tomatoes, avocado and spicy mayonnaise.

Categories     Nachos

Time 18m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
8 ounces lean ground beef
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 ounces thin corn tortilla chips
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ (15.25 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
⅓ cup salsa, or to taste
3 tablespoons sliced green onions
⅓ cup sour cream, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer at 360 degrees F (182 degrees C) for about 5 minutes. Line the air fryer basket with foil or a parchment liner, and spray with cooking spray.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat and cook ground beef until browned and crumbly, about 3 minutes; drain grease. Stir in water, taco seasoning, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Set tortilla chips in the basket, spreading them out and overlapping slightly so the melted cheese won't drip through the open gaps. Evenly sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chips. Only add a couple of layers of chips with cheese in between in the fryer basket, or just add a single layer and cook in batches.
  • Evenly distribute ground beef and black beans over the cheese, sprinkle green onions on top, and add spoonfuls of salsa.
  • Transfer the basket into the air fryer and cook until cheese is melted and starting to slightly brown on the edges, 4 to 6 minutes. The nachos will cook evenly and quickly but watch closely so they don't burn.
  • Remove nachos to a serving plate, garnish with sour cream, and serve immediately. Put extra toppings in small bowls and let everybody customize their nachos.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn tortillas: Fresh corn tortillas have a much better flavor and texture than store-bought tortillas. If you can't find fresh corn tortillas, you can make your own using masa harina.
  • Heat the tortillas before filling them: This will help to prevent them from cracking or tearing. You can heat the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for a few seconds.
  • Don't overload the tortillas: Too many fillings will make the tacos difficult to eat and may cause them to fall apart.
  • Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to taco fillings. Some popular options include seasoned ground beef, chicken, fish, shrimp, vegetables, and beans.
  • Top the tacos with your favorite toppings: Some popular taco toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Air fryer tacos are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for parties and gatherings. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of air fryer tacos that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a tasty and convenient meal, give air fryer tacos a try!
