Making air fryer Taco Bell Mexican pizza at home brings a delightful twist to your Mexican cuisine nights. By leveraging the air fryer’s capabilities, this recipe not only recreates a fast-food favorite but also introduces a healthier alternative to deep-frying.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Components

  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup water

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup refried beans
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Optional Add-ons

  • Sour cream, for serving
  • Guacamole, for serving
  • Sliced jalapeños, for added heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. This ensures the tortillas get a crispy texture.
  2. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, simmering for 5 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
  3. Tortilla preparation: Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with oil. Place them in the air fryer basket, not overlapping, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until crisp. You may need to do this in batches.
  4. Assembly: Spread a thin layer of refried beans on two tortillas. Top with the seasoned beef, then place another tortilla on top of each.
  5. Layering technique: Sprinkle the Mexican cheese blend over the top tortillas, followed by diced tomatoes and green onions.
  6. Air fryer cooking: Place the assembled pizzas back in the air fryer. Cook at 375°F for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serving: Carefully remove the Air Fryer Taco Bell Mexican Pizzas and let them cool for a minute before slicing. Serve with optional add-ons like sour cream or guacamole if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian alternative, substitute ground beef with cooked lentils or a plant-based ground meat substitute. Adjust the air fryer settings as needed to ensure the tortillas reach your desired level of crispness.
