How long does cooked lasagne meat last in the fridge?
Cooked lasagne meat lasts 3 to 4 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. If you want to freeze the lasagne meat, let it cool then freeze in a sealed tub or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Make sure to defrost before fully reheating.
How do you make lasagne tacos in the air fryer?
Fill taco shells or tortilla wraps with lasagne meat and a sprinkle of mozzarella or cheddar cheese. Air fry at 180°C for 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy. Serve with extra cheese or a drizzle of white sauce if you like.

Do I need a special taco shell for lasagne tacos?

What cheese works best in lasagne tacos?

Method
Step 1
Start by preparing the lasagne filling. Brown the mince and onion together in a pan, then add the remaining ingredients for the meat mixture. Stir well and cook until everything is fully combined, and the mince is cooked through.
Step 2
Once your filling is ready, take each taco and dip one side into the sauce. Place the taco dry-side down and begin assembling. Add 1 teaspoon of béchamel sauce, 2-3 tablespoons of the lasagne meat, and a sprinkle of grated cheese.
Step 3
Fold the taco in half, brush the outside with garlic butter, and place it in the air fryer. Cook at 200°C for 8 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 4
Serve and enjoy 😊
