Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add cream cheese, nutritional yeast, and salt. Cook until cheese is melted and everything is evenly combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 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.
