Crispitos
Crispitos are hands down my kids favorite school lunch meal! This is my version of the popular school staple! They can be made by lightly frying in oil or if you want them a little healthier they can also be made in the air fryer. I'll give you instructions for both!

Notes
The air fryer version are def more healthy but don't pack the same flavor in my opinion. Â My kids said these weren't exactly like schools but delicious nonetheless.
Do trying this!
YEAH 😉
I haven’t made these yet but the ground meat is thawing in the fridge now!
I wanted to share a secret about these spices! We finally perfected a recipe for chili gravy. My spice list is nearly the same as yours; however, I discovered Lawry’s Taco seasoning mix is perfect!! Even better than my originalrecipe!!! I hope this helps save time and money!! 8 live your cooking vids!
Thank you!
Out of curiosity, how do you pack these for your kid’s lunches? How do you keep them warm or do you pack at room temperature?
They just eat them at home. I’ve never sent them to school. Their school also serves a version.
