Check the thickest part of the minced beef filling with a food thermometer. It must reach at least 71°C (160°F). If it has not, continue cooking and checking until safely done. Thicker, meatier skewers may need additional time.

Lackie's Notes
I used the COSORI Dual Blaze for this recipe.
I made four skewers, serving approximately two to three people.
I used plain flour tortillas.
You can adjust how much minced beef you layer between the tortillas depending on how meaty you want the skewers.
Thicker beef layers will generally require more cooking time.
My recorded cooking time was 10 minutes at 180°C, but always check that the minced beef reaches a safe internal temperature of 71°C before serving.
I did not preheat the air fryer or turn the skewers.
If using wooden skewers, make sure they are suitable for your appliance, fit safely within the basket and cannot touch the heating element.
