Air Fryer Taco Bombs

Air Fryer Taco Bombs

Healthy Fact of the Day

Air frying uses significantly less oil than traditional frying methods, reducing overall fat content while maintaining crispy texture. Using lean ground beef provides protein while keeping saturated fat in check.

These Air Fryer Taco Bombs bring fusion fun to your Monday Munchies with their flaky biscuit exterior and savory taco-seasoned filling. They’re perfect for busy weeknights, game day gatherings, or anytime you want handheld comfort food that satisfies. The combination of seasoned beef, melted cheese, and buttery biscuit creates a flavor explosion that lives up to the “bomb” name.

If you love this handheld, cheesy combination, you’ll also enjoy our Beef and Cheese Empanadas with their similar crispy exterior and savory filling. For another air fryer creation that brings bold flavors to your table, try our Crispy Vegan Taquitos. They offer that same satisfying crunch with a plant-based twist that complements these meaty bombs perfectly.

    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    • 1/4 cup sour cream

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Building sauces with layers of aromatics, reductions, and finishing touches allows you to create rich, satisfying flavors using less cream, butter, and salt overall, and incorporating acid helps slow digestion which can moderate blood sugar spikes from the meal while making every other flavor more pronounced and memorable.
