    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.

    What you need

    Frozen mini tacos – In this post I’m using beef and cheese Jose Ole mini tacos but this method will work for any brand like Trader Joe’s, Don Miguel, Target brand, and more.

    Air fryer – This works for all air fryers, even the oven style. I’m using a Cosori 5.8 quart basket style.

    How to make frozen mini tacos in air fryer

    Step one: Arrange frozen tacos in air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure to leave a little space between them so the hot air can circulate. I can fit about 10 tacos at a time.

    Step two: What temperature to air fryer frozen mini tacos? Cook at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. Flip them over and cook another 2-3 minutes at 400 degrees F.

    Recipe tips

    • If you are making a full box of tacos, you might need to cook them in 2 batches.
    • Cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer.
    • Use an instant read thermometer to make sure they have cooked all the way through. You will want the temperature to reach at least 165 degrees F.

    How to store leftovers

    How to store: Have leftovers? Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container or zip bag. They will last in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    How to reheat: To warm them back up, place the mini tacos in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380 degrees for about 3 minutes.

    What to serve with mini tacos

    These tacos are great served with different dips like:

    • Guacamole
    • Sour Cream
    • Quesadilla Sauce
    • Salsa
    • Pico de Gallo

    They are also great served with side dishes like:

    • Refried Beans
