Queso Drowned Air Fryer Taquitos

Crispy air fryer taquitos get the VIP treatment standing tall in a cup of hot, melty queso—aka the best dinner party trick ever. Made extra crunchy thanks to my new COSORI air fryer, these are fun, dippable, and completely crave-worthy.

Ingredients

BEST Party Queso Recipe:

  • 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
  • 16 oz. Velveeta
  • 1/4 C whole whipping cream

  • 1.25 LB Ground Beef
  • 1 Packet of Taco Seasoning
  • ¾ Cup Water
  • 20 Corn Tortillas

Toppings:

  • Sour Cream
  • Guacamole

Instructions

Queso Instructions:

  • Heat a large pot. Cook the meat: Brown the chorizo and drain any excess grease (I use a mesh strainer for this).
  • Combine ingredients: Mix the cooked chorizo with the remaining ingredients in your pot.
  • Allow to simmer, stirring frequently to melt cheese.

Tacos:

  • Prepare your taco filling: Brown your ground beef. Once cooked through, add your taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Heat the tortillas in the microwave until soft and pliable. Place a tortilla flat on a surface and brush generously with oil. Then flip over. Add some queso, then taco filling.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400. Roll the tortilla tightly into a tube-like shape. Place it seam-side down or secure it with a toothpick. Repeat until all tortillas and filling are used.
  • Place in your preheated air fryer at 400. Air Fry for 6-7 minutes.
  • Place queso and other toppings at the bottom of your cup. Lastly, add in the tacos. Enjoy
