# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 lb ground beef
02 -
1 packet taco seasoning mix
03 -
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
04 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
→ Optional Add-Ins
05 -
Diced onions
06 -
Diced jalapeños
07 -
Diced bell peppers
# Steps:
01 -
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even browning. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and prepare according to the packet instructions. Optionally, add diced onions, jalapeños, or bell peppers for additional flavor.
02 -
Separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles and slightly flatten each piece. Place a spoonful of seasoned beef in the center of each triangle, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Fold the edges of the dough to fully enclose the filling, pinching them together to form sealed balls.
03 -
Preheat the air fryer to 175°C (350°F) for 3–5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
04 -
Spray the air fryer basket lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Place the sealed taco bombs into the basket, leaving space between each one for proper air circulation. Cook at 175°C (350°F) for 7–10 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if necessary based on your air fryer size.
05 -
Carefully remove the cooked taco bombs from the air fryer and let them cool for 1–2 minutes. Serve warm with dipping sauces like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
