Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 finely chopped red onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 8 8-inch flour tortillas
- Avocado oil or olive oil for spraying or brushing
Instructions
- Season the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped red onion, salt, black pepper, allspice, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly incorporated throughout the beef mixture.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas slightly in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or in a dry skillet for a few seconds per side until they become pliable and easy to manipulate, preventing cracking when rolled.
- Assemble the Tortilla Cones: Slice each tortilla in half to create two semi-circles. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned beef on the flat edge of one semi-circle, spreading it in a line.
- Fold and Roll: Fold the tortilla half over the beef to form a half-moon shape, then tightly roll from the curved edge to form a cone. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat for all tortillas and beef mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer or Oven: Preheat an air fryer to 375°F (190°C) or the oven to the same temperature for baking.
- Prepare for Cooking: Lightly spray or brush each tortilla cone with avocado or olive oil to promote browning and crispiness during cooking.
- Cook the Rolls: Place the cones in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding, or on a baking sheet if using an oven. Air fry or bake for 8-10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, baking in a preheated oven works just as well to achieve crispy rolls.
- Be careful not to overfill the tortillas to prevent breaking or leaking during cooking.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for extra flavor.
- To make preparation faster, you can prepare the beef mixture in advance and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
