Description

These air fryer vegan taquitos are made with vegan ground beef, vegan cream cheese, nutritional yeast, and corn tortillas.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (12 ounce) package vegetarian ground beef crumbles (such as MorningStar Farms®), thawed
2 canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, minced
2 tablespoons adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 (8 ounce) tub vegan cream cheese (such as Toffutti®)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 corn tortillas
cooking spray

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add vegetarian beef crumbles, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, cumin, and onion powder. Cook and stir for 5 minutes.
2 Add cream cheese, nutritional yeast, and salt. Cook until cheese is melted and everything is evenly combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
3 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4 Spoon a heaping tablespoon of mixture into the middle of each tortilla and roll up. Working in batches, place a single layer of taquitos in the air fryer basket, seam-side down. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Air fry for 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining taquitos.
