Air Fryer Taco Bombs with Cheddar and Biscuit Dough (Print version)

Crispy biscuit dough stuffed with taco-seasoned beef and sharp cheddar, air fried to golden perfection in just 20 minutes.

# Ingredients:

For the taco filling

01 - 1/2 lb (225 g) ground beef

02 - 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning

03 - 2 tablespoons water

For the bombs

04 - 1 can (8 count) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough

05 - 1 cup (115 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

06 - Olive oil cooking spray

# Instructions:

01 - Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water, simmer 2 minutes, then spread on a plate to cool completely.

02 - Separate the biscuit dough into 8 rounds. Press each into a thin 4-inch circle. Spoon 1 heaped tablespoon of cooled beef and 1 tablespoon of cheddar into the center.

03 - Pull the dough edges up and over the filling. Pinch firmly to seal, then roll gently in your palms to smooth. Place seam-side down.

04 - Lightly spray the air fryer basket. Arrange bombs seam-side down in a single layer with space between them. Spritz tops lightly with oil. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until deep golden brown.

05 - Let cool 2 minutes. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served warm while the cheese is still molten.
