Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 cup diced onion

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 (12 ounce) package vegetarian ground beef crumbles (such as MorningStar Farms®), thawed

  • 2 canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, minced

  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from chipotle peppers

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ (8 ounce) tub vegan cream cheese (such as Toffutti®)

  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 16 corn tortillas

  • cooking spray

Directions

  1. 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.

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

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

  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.
