🔪 Prep the Ingredients

Make the Filling:

If using meat, cook the ground beef or shredded chicken in a skillet over medium heat with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and mix in the diced green chiles.

If skipping meat, simply mix the diced green chiles with the shredded cheese.

Assemble the Tacos:

Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Place a spoonful of the filling (meat and chiles, or just chiles and cheese) in the center of each tortilla. Fold in half to form a taco.

🔥 Cook the Tacos:

Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Place the tacos on a wire rack or air fryer basket, seam-side down. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to help them crisp up.

Bake or air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

🍴 Serve It Like This:

Arrange the crispy tacos on a platter.

Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side for dipping 🌮🥑

Pair with a refreshing Mexican drink like horchata or a cold soda 🥤

🔥 Pro Tips:

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cumin to the filling.

If the tacos open during cooking, secure them with a toothpick before baking.
