Why you will love this recipe

You will love this recipe because taco bombs are super easy and quick to make. In just a short amount of time you have snacks, lunches or dinners ready to be gobbled up by everyone in your household. 

We first made these bombs with leftover taco meat from Tuesday Taco Night. We had about 1-2 cups extra taco meat, and so we grabbed biscuit dough, and made these delicious taco bombs. 

Ingredients:

  • taco seasoning
  • cheddar cube of cheese-use your preferred cheese flavor, and cheese sticks or folded slice piece of cheese can be substituted

FAQ'S

How to reheat taco bombs?

These taco bombs are best when they are fresh out of the air fryer. However, if you need to reheat them, place them back in your air fryer for a few minutes, until they are crispy.

What can I serve with Taco Bombs?

Taco bombs pair well with different grains such as white or wild rice with fresh herbs, quinoa, lentils or bulgur wheat. A spinach or kale salad with peppers, onions and sautéed garlic will also goes well with this dish. Or, just grab air fryer tortilla chips and salsa!

How do I store leftover taco bombs?

Once they are fully cooled, place them in a freezer storage bag or airtight container and store in the freezer for 2-3 months. You can also store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can refrigerated canned biscuits
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 24 cubes cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Cook ground beef on medium high heat. Add seasonings and cook until meat is browned.
  • While meat is cooking open biscuits and separate dough. Lightly roll biscuit flat.
  • Next spoon a tablespoon of cooked taco meat mixture onto roll, then top with cheese. Pull dough up and over meat and cheese mixture. Pinch sides to completely seal mixture inside of dough ball.
  • Place bombs in air fryer basket, in a single layer that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper.
  • Air fry at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Serve while hot with salsa or your favorite sauce for dipping.

Notes

Shredded cheddar cheese can work well for this recipe, but to avoid a bit of cheese leak in the basket, cutting a small cheese cube helps keep it in the biscuit dough.
If the dough is not sealing completely around filling mixture you can gently brush the sides with a bit of water or egg wash (a beaten egg). This will help ensure dough is fully sealed and filling does not leak out. Brush with melted butter to get them golden brown and extra crispy.
