Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes.
  • Place one wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Put 1 teaspoon taco meat in the center and top with 1 teaspoon shredded Mexican cheese.
  • Dip a fingertip in water and lightly moisten the edge of the wrapper.
  • Fold the wrapper over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal (triangle, envelope, or desired shape). Do not overfill.
  • Repeat steps 2–4 until all wrappers are filled.
  • Arrange filled wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket so they do not touch; work in batches if needed.
  • Air fry at 375°F for about 7 minutes, until the wontons are golden brown and crisp (check at 6 minutes and continue up to 8 minutes if needed).
  • Remove cooked wontons from the basket and set aside on a cooling rack or plate. Repeat steps 6–7 with remaining batches.
  • Serve warm with your dipping sauces.

Notes

Notes
Use Wonton Wrappers or larger Egg Roll Wrappers
Wonton wrappers are smaller than egg roll wrappers but are made from the same dough ingredients. They are interchangeable in many recipes but not ALL (like ones that steam).
For air-fried taco wontons, either wrapper type can be used.
Just adjust filling amount.
Wonton wrappers tend to be small
, but you can stuff a lot of flavor into a wonton recipe! Flavor the meat with chopped green chilies, cloves garlic, pepper flakes, and black pepper to make every bite delicious.
TIMING
We are using the Ninja Foodi All In One. It’s always a good idea to watch your air fryer and adjust timing as needed for the golden brown level you are looking for.
