Air frying is a revolutionary cooking method that has gained immense popularity in recent years. It utilizes a convection mechanism to circulate hot air around the food, creating a crispy exterior without the need for excessive oil. This technology not only reduces fat content but also enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients, making it an ideal option for health-conscious cooks who don't want to sacrifice taste.

Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup corn (frozen or canned)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 package of mini flour tortillas (approximately 10-12)

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or sliced jalapeños

Instructions
 

Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, taco seasoning, shredded cheese, black beans, corn, red onion, and cilantro. Mix until well combined.

    Assemble Taco Bites: Taking one mini tortilla at a time, scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to create a pocket and press gently to seal the edges. You may use a little water to help them stick.

      Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

        Prepare Bites for Cooking: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Arrange the folded taco bites in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. You may need to do this in batches.

          Cook Taco Bites: Air fry the taco bites at 380°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Carefully remove the chicken taco bites from the air fryer. Serve hot with your choice of salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or jalapeños on the side.
