Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Spice Mix

  • 500 g Extra Lean Beef Mince (1.1 lbs)
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, finely diced
  • 1 Red Onion, finely diced

Other

  • 5 Tortilla Wraps

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion, then mince the garlic cloves. Using a food processor for uniform texture is recommended.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the extra lean beef mince with the diced vegetables, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully integrated.
  3. Prepare Tortillas: Remove the rounded edges from each tortilla wrap to create large square pieces.
  4. Layer Mixture: Place one tortilla square on a clean surface and spread a thin, even layer of the mince mixture on top. Add another tortilla on top and spread more mince, repeating until all the mince and tortillas are used, finishing with a tortilla on top. Press down firmly to compact the layers.
  5. Slice into Strips: Use a sharp knife to slice the stacked tortillas lengthwise into 6 long strips.
  6. Skewer the Strips: Flip each strip onto its side to expose the layers and insert a skewer lengthwise through each strip.
  7. Cut Individual Kebabs: Cut across each skewered strip to produce 8 individual kebab skewers.
  8. Preheat Air Fryer & Cook: Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Arrange the skewers in a single layer inside the air fryer basket and cook for 8 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking. Cook until the beef is fully cooked and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
  9. Storage (Optional): If preparing ahead, store uncooked skewers in an airtight container and air-fry when ready to serve.
  10. Serve: Remove cooked skewers from the air fryer and serve hot with guacamole or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use extra lean beef mince to reduce fat content and avoid excess grease during cooking.
  • Ensure the tortilla edges are completely removed for neat square layering.
  • Pressing the tortilla and mince stack firmly is crucial to keep the layers intact while slicing and skewering.
  • Turning skewers halfway in the air fryer promotes even browning and cooking.
  • Skewers can be served with various dips such as guacamole, salsa, or yogurt-based sauces.
  • Adjust spices to taste for a milder or spicier kebab flavor.
  • Keep uncooked skewers refrigerated and cook within 24 hours for best freshness.
