Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 finely chopped red onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 8-inch flour tortillas

Season the Beef:

Prepare the Tortillas:

  • Heat the tortillas slightly in a microwave or a dry skillet to make them pliable and easier to work with.

Assemble the Tortilla Cones:

  • Take one of the tortillas and slice it in half to create two semi-circles.
  • Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the seasoned beef mixture on one half of the tortilla, spreading it out in a line along the curved edge.

  • Carefully fold the tortilla in half over the beef mixture to create a half-moon shape.
  • Starting from one end, roll the tortilla tightly around the beef mixture, forming a cone shape. Secure the end with a toothpick if needed. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.

Air Fry or Bake:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  • Lightly spray the tortilla cones with avocado oil, or brush them with olive oil. This will help them turn golden and crispy during cooking.

  • Place the tortilla cones in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook in batches as needed. Or, arrange them on a baking sheet.
