Air Fryer Pasta Tacos
These air fryer pasta tacos are a fusion of manicotti and tacos. Pasta shells, filled with taco seasoned beef and cheese, are coated in crushed tortilla chips and air fried for a crunchy, savory pasta "taco".
Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounce) box manicotti pasta
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 ounces diced green chiles
- 1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes with green chiles, such as ro*tel®, drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk or half-and-half
- 3 cups finely crushed tortilla chips
- salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, and/or guacamole for serving
Directions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, crumbling with a spoon, until evenly browned, about 7 minutes.
- Add taco seasoning, green chiles, and RO*TEL and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar cheese.
- Fill each pasta shell with beef mixture and freeze for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow dish. Place crushed tortilla chips in a second shallow dish. Lighty coat filled pasta with egg wash and coat in crushed crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere if necessary.
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Working in 2 batches, air fry the pasta tacos for 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.

Poppy's Matzo Brei
My grandfather, whom I called Poppy, was a counterman at the famed B&H Dairy in the East Village for 40 years! By the 1980’s and during my early childhood on the Lower East Side, he went to the Grand Street Dairy and there became coined King of the Matzo Brei. For the 10 years of my childhood that my Poppy was alive for, I can remember the smell of matzo brei frying and loved eating it with a pile of sugar on my plate to dip it into. I started my business 12 years ago and decided dedicate it to him by calling the company Poppy’s. While I’m not the chef of my business, I love cooking at home and on this Passover I figured we could share this recipe for anyone to make.
