What is an air fryer?
An air fryer is a countertop convection oven. I have a Cosori and I love it! It circulates hot air at a high speed producing a crips brown product. Great for quick and easy dinners or simply reheating leftovers.
What do I need to get started?
- Refrigerated roll of crescent dough
- Ground beef
- Corn
- Onion
- Salsa
- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Garlic Salt
- Cheese
Recipe tips
- You can use ground turkey or even ground chicken instead of ground beef if you prefer.
- Let the meat cool down a bit before adding it to the crescent dough.
- I like to use a mixture of pepper jack and cheddar, but you can use whatever cheese you prefer.
- Make sure crescent rolls are completely sealed.
- If you happen to have leftover taco meat this is a great way to use it.
How to make air fryer taco pockets
- Cut the crescent roll into four rectangles. Divide the meat mixture evenly and top with the rest of the cheese.
