INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 1 (8 ounce) box manicotti pasta

  • Meat

    • 🥩 1 pound ground beef

  • Seasonings

    • 1 packet taco seasoning
    • 4 ounces green chiles
    • 🍅 1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes with green chiles, such as RO*TEL®, drained

  • Dairy

    • 🧀 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
    • 🥚 3 large eggs
    • 🥛 2 tablespoons milk or half-and-half

STEPS

1

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.

2

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, crumbling with a spoon, until evenly browned, about 7 minutes.

3

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.

4

Fill each pasta shell with beef mixture and freeze for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.

5

Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow dish. Place crushed tortilla chips in a second shallow dish. Lightly coat filled pasta with the egg wash and coat in crushed crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere if necessary.

6

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer’s instructions.

7

Working in 2 batches, air fry the pasta tacos for 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.
