    The air fryer can be used for so many things, especially frozen foods like taquitos, egg rolls, and fries. If you are looking for the best way to cook frozen mini tacos for your next Taco Tuesday, I would recommend using the air fryer.

    The best way to cook frozen mini tacos

    Forget the microwave and even the oven. Here are a few reasons why the air fryer is the best way to cook mini tacos.

    • Crunchy shells: Cooking mini tacos in the air fryer is the best way to get crispy, crunchy shells while keeping the meat and cheese warm and delicious.
    • Fast: These can be cooked in about 6-8 minutes from start to finish. Perfect for a fast game day snack or simple dinner.
    • Better than deep frying: One of the great reasons for using the air fryer is that you can achieve delicious, crispy food without having to deep fry in oil.
