2. 1 onion, diced
3. 2 cloves of garlic, minced
4. 1 teaspoon chili powder
5. 1 teaspoon cumin

8. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or chicken over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess fat, if any.
2. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese.
5. Preheat your Air Fryer to 400F or preheat the oven to 425F if you’re planning to bake them.
6. Take a corn tortilla and add 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture to the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the ends to seal.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and meat mixture.
