- Line the tacos up in the air fryer basket, positioned to form the desired taco shape.

Notes
Cook time will vary depending on your air fryer, so make sure to keep an eye on the tacos at the end as they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt quickly.
Tacos are done when your preferred level of crispness is reached. This can take from 5-10 minutes, depending on if you like them to be slightly crisp or really crunchy.
