Ingredients
- Small tortillas
- Ground beef (about 1/4 cup per taco)
- Salt
- Cooking spray
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Your favorite burger toppings (lettuce, pickles, sauce, etc.)
- Preheat the air fryer – Set your air fryer to 400°F (205°C) and let it preheat for 5 minutes.
- Prep the tacos – Spread about 1/4 cup of ground beef evenly over a tortilla, pressing it all the way to the edges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and meat. Lightly season with salt and spray with cooking spray.
- Air fry – Place the tortillas meat-side up in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you’ll likely need to cook in batches). Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for about 5 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the tortilla is crisp.
- Add cheese – For a Smash Cheeseburger Taco, top with a slice of cheese and place the basket back in the air fryer (with the heat off) for about 1 minute to let the cheese melt.
- Assemble and serve – Remove from the air fryer, add your favorite burger toppings, and gently fold the taco. Repeat with the remaining tacos. Serve immediately and enjoy!
