Air Fryer Taco Soup

Mandy Applegate
Air Fryer Taco Soup has become one of my favorite go-to dinners when I need something bold, filling, and easy without extra cleanup. It's rich and deeply savory with juicy seasoned ground beef, black beans, sweet corn, and crushed tomatoes in a spiced broth with taco seasoning and garlic. I make it for weeknight dinners, game day parties, and Sunday meal prep because it feeds a crowd, reheats like a dream, and is budget-friendly. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days and freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.

Notes

Here are a few tips I've picked up to get the most out of every batch:
  • Drain excess fat if needed: If your ground beef has a higher fat content, carefully tilt the casserole dish and spoon off any excess grease before adding the onion and garlic to prevent the dish from becoming greasy.
  • Shake the beef regularly: Shaking the beef every 4 to 5 minutes promotes even browning and prevents overcooking.
  • Seal the foil tightly: Cover the dish tightly with foil during the broth and tomato stage to prevent steam from escaping and excess liquid from reducing.
  • Drain and rinse the black beans well: Rinsing canned black beans removes the starchy liquid, keeping the broth clear and letting the taco seasoning shine.
  • Add corn and beans off heat: Stir in the corn and black beans after air frying to heat them without making them mushy.
  • Freeze in individual portions: Freeze the cooled soup in single-serving containers for easy portioning.
