Description

These Smash Cheeseburger Tacos are the perfect fusion of a juicy burger and a crispy taco, made in just 10 minutes using an air fryer. Quick, crispy, and flavorful, these tacos are a fun and delicious twist on the classic taco and cheeseburger combo.


Ingredients

Small tortillas

Ground beef (about ¼ cup per taco)

Salt (to taste)

Cooking spray

Cheese slices (optional, for Smash Cheeseburger Tacos)

Your favorite burger toppings (lettuce, pickles, sauce, etc.)

Equipment

Ninja Crispi Air Fryer (or any air fryer)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer – Set the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) and preheat for 5 minutes.

  2. Prep the Tacos – Spread ¼ cup ground beef evenly over each tortilla, pressing it all the way to the edges. Lightly season with salt and spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness.

  3. Air Fry – Place the tortillas meat-side up in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for about 5 minutes, until beef is cooked and the tortilla is crispy.

  4. Add Cheese (Optional) – Top each taco with a slice of cheese, then return the basket to the air fryer (with heat off) for 1 minute to melt the cheese.

  5. Assemble and Serve – Remove tacos, add toppings like lettuce, pickles, and sauce, fold gently, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Taco Size: Use small tortillas or any size/type you prefer.
