- In 10-inch (25 cm) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of the oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) red onion; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until softened. Add beef, taco seasoning mix and water; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture is hot and sauce is thickened.

- Set air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Working in two batches, place 4 taquitos seam-side down in air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Cook 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on top. Turn taquitos over, and cook 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining taquitos.
- Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together Guacamole ingredients.
- For each serving, place 2 taquitos on a plate, and spoon a dollop of the guacamole on top. Sprinkle with cheese; serve with sour cream and salsa.
Expert Tips
- Fully cooked brisket or roast beef can be found in the refrigerated meat section or the meals to go section of your grocery store.
- Making guacamole is super easy and worth it, but if time is short, premade guacamole can usually be found in your grocer’s deli aisle.
- Create a creamy salsa verde sauce for dipping. Stir sour cream into salsa verde until desired consistency.
- Air fryer temperature control settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
