How To Make Viral Air-Fryer Tortilla Kebabs
- The Meat: In a large bowl, use your hands to combine the lean ground beef, diced peppers, onions, minced garlic, parsley, and the entire spice blend until completely uniform.
- The Stack: Trim the sides of your 6 large flour tortillas to turn them into rough 10-inch squares. Evenly spread a thin layer of the seasoned beef mixture across 5 of the tortillas. Stack them directly on top of one another, finishing with the 6th plain tortilla on top.
- Skew and Slice: Using a very sharp knife, cut the stack vertically into 4–5 thick strips. Flip each strip upwards on its side so the layers face up. Carefully thread wooden skewers horizontally completely through the strips. Cut down between each skewer to create individual, beautifully layered kebabs.
- Air Fry: Lightly brush the kebabs with a touch of garlic butter or chili oil. Spray the air fryer basket with oil, arrange the kebabs in a single layer, and air fry at 180°C (360°F) for 15–16 minutes, turning them halfway through until the meat is fully cooked and the tortilla edges are deeply golden and crispy.
- The Dip: While cooking, blend all the yogurt dip ingredients together until smooth. Serve the hot, crispy kebabs immediately alongside the chilled cream sauce.
