Discover the irresistible flavor of Air Fryer Taco Bombs, cheesy and crispy appetizer bites perfect for parties, game days, or quick snacks. These savory tacos are wrapped in flaky dough, filled with seasoned ground beef and cheese, then cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer for a healthier, mess-free treat.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 12 pieces

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of refrigerated biscuit dough or puff pastry
  • 1 cup cooked taco meat or seasoned ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced onions and bell peppers (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • Olive oil or cooking spray
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked taco meat with shredded cheese, diced onions, bell peppers, and taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Roll out the biscuit dough or puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 3-inch squares.
  3. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square, then fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal, creating a bomb shape.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the outside of each taco bomb with cooking spray.
  5. Arrange in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Cook for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove carefully, garnish with cilantro or parsley, and serve hot with dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
  • For extra crispiness, spray lightly with oil before air frying.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
