Ground Beef Taco Meat Recipe You’ll Cook Again and Again

by 0 comments

I always keep a batch of taco meat in my freezer. It is such a versatile dish.

You can more than just tacos or burritos. Who doesn’t love a rice taco bowl, or a taco salad, or taco eggrolls.

This is one of my favorite taco meat recipes. I always make a double batch. Eat some, save some.

Take some taco logs to the party

by 1 comment

This is a great make-ahead appetizer. Prepare them the day before and instead of cooking them, put them in a storage baggie and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.

On the day of the party, preheat your air fryer to 450 degrees fahrenheit and start cooking. It takes approximately 10 minutes per batch.

You could also cook them in the oven. Just lower the temperature to 350 and cook a few minutes longer on each side.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Place eggroll wrapper on working surface in a diamond shape, one tip pointed to you. brush small amount of water along edges (this is for sealing the eggroll).
  • Place a line of taco meat in middle of eggroll, leaving space at each end. Sprinkle with hot sauce (optional)
  • Place a line of cheese on top of taco meat.
  • Starting at the bottom, begin to roll wrapper tightly but gently over meat, stopping midway to tuck in sides like an envelope. Then finish rolling.
  • Place another eggroll flat on your rolling surface. Place already rolled eggroll on top of it and roll it up. This is a double roll eggroll. This will give you a nice crispy outside, without the insides leaking out.
  • Once all of your eggrolls are done, brush them lightly with your olive oil baste. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning (optional).
  • Preheat air fryer to 450 degrees. Lightly oil bottom of air fryer basket. When it is ready, cooking in batches, lay eggrolls flat on the bottom with a little space between each one.
  • After 5 minutes, flip over and cook another 3 - 5 minutes. The eggrolls are done, when they reach a golden color.
  • Serve with a bowl of salsa and a bowl of sour cream, for dipping.

Notes

  • Makes 10 eggrolls.
