Indulge in air-fried Korean BBQ beef and cheese taquitos, a crispy, savory delight perfect for comfort food cravings!
Ingredients
- • Thinly sliced beef sirloin: 1 pound
- • Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
- • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
- • Minced garlic: 3 cloves
- • Grated ginger: 1 teaspoon
- • Corn tortillas: 12
- • Shredded mozzarella cheese: 1 cup
- • Green onions, sliced: 2
- • Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • Vegetable oil spray
- • Gochujang (Korean chili paste): 1 tablespoon (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- 3 While the beef marinates, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
- 4 Once the beef is marinated, sear it in a hot skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 5 Place a small amount of the cooked beef and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese into each tortilla. Roll tightly to form a taquito and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
- 6 Lightly spray the taquitos with vegetable oil spray. Arrange them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch.
- 7 Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy. Rotate halfway through for even cooking.
- 8 Garnish the taquitos with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Drizzle with gochujang for an extra kick, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these delectable taquitos with a side of creamy coleslaw or a zesty cucumber salad to balance the richness. Pair with a refreshing beverage like a cold lager or a citrusy soda to enhance the bold flavors. For an added touch of indulgence, offer a dipping sauce such as creamy sriracha mayo or tangy kimchi aioli. These taquitos are perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a satisfying solo meal. Their crispy exterior and savory filling make them a versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of sides and drinks.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until heated through and re-crisped. Avoid microwaving, as it may result in a soggy texture. If you prefer, you can also reheat them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes to maintain their crispiness.
