Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can refrigerated canned biscuits
- 24 cubes cheddar cheese
Seasoning:
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Instructions
- Thoroughly brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, eliminating excess fat while ensuring a rich, deep flavor profile.
- Integrate taco seasoning into the meat, allowing the spices to permeate and create an intense, robust filling that will elevate the entire dish.
- Gently stretch each biscuit dough piece, creating a thin, malleable surface capable of securely encasing the savory meat mixture.
- Carefully position a generous portion of the seasoned beef at the center of each expanded dough circle, creating a strategic flavor foundation.
- Crown the meat with a melty cheddar cheese cube, promising a molten surprise within each bomb.
- Meticulously gather and pinch the dough edges, forming a complete seal that prevents any filling from escaping during cooking.
- Prepare the air fryer basket with a light non-stick spray or protective parchment paper to ensure effortless release and minimal cleanup.
- Arrange the assembled bombs with intentional spacing, preventing contact to guarantee uniform crispness and golden-brown exteriors.
- Execute precision cooking at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, monitoring until the bombs transform into crispy, golden parcels of deliciousness.
- Present the taco bombs immediately, accompanied by complementary dipping sauces like vibrant salsa, creamy sour cream, or rich guacamole for an interactive dining experience.
Notes
- Transform ground beef into a flavor-packed filling by browning thoroughly and mixing with zesty taco seasoning for maximum taste.
- Gently flatten biscuit dough to create the perfect pocket for holding savory meat and melty cheese.
- Carefully seal each taco bomb by pinching edges completely to prevent filling from leaking during air frying.
- Use non-stick spray or parchment paper to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking in the air fryer basket.
- Cook in a single layer without overcrowding to achieve crispy, golden-brown exterior and evenly heated center.
- Elevate your meal by serving with cool, creamy dipping sauces that complement the warm, cheesy taco bombs.
