Air Fryer Chorizo and Cheddar Biscuits

There’s a new cheese biscuit in town and it’s got your name all over it. But unlike those old-fashioned cheese biscuits, these are made with chorizo for a little extra flavor. So if you’re looking for something to liven up your breakfast routine, give these air fryer chorizo and cheddar biscuits a try. You won’t regret it!

Chorizo and Cheddar Biscuits

There’s nothing more satisfying than a fresh, hot biscuit made with love. I have been making these Air Fryer Chorizo and Cheddar Biscuits for years now and they are simply the best!

They are filled with flavor, from ground chorizo, cheddar cheese, and even some pepper jack cheese for some spice! I also included lots of seasonings for even another level of flavor.

And of course, with the air fryer, they will crisp up to perfection and be cooked in less than 10 minutes!

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Chorizo and Cheddar Biscuits

Today, we used some simple ingredients to create a delicious cheese biscuit!

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Chorizo and Cheddar Biscuits
  • Self-Rising Flour: You can use store-bought or I included a recipe for a simple recipe for self-rising flour below. Self-rising flour is nothing more than all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Butter: Use cold and unsalted butter.
  • Cheese: Cheddar Cheese and Pepper Jack Cheese, for best results, use freshly shredded cheese.
  • Chorizo: Adds some spice to this dish!
  • Sour Cream: Use either low-fat or full-fat sour cream.
  • Buttermilk: Use homemade or store-bought buttermilk, but make sure that it’s cold.
  • Seasonings and Spices: Taco Seasoning and fresh cilantro.

Tips For Making The Best Biscuits In Air Fryer

Are you looking for a way to make the best biscuits in an air fryer? If so, then you are in luck, below we shared some tips for making the best biscuits in the air fryer.

  • Cold Ingredients: For best results, and for a really flaky biscuit, make sure that you use cold ingredients. Store the butter and buttermilk in the refrigerator, until ready to use.
  • Over Mixing: For best results, do not overmix the ingredients. As you continue to mix the ingredients, gluten is developed in the dough, which will lead to a hard biscuit. For a flaky biscuit, stop mixing once the ingredients are mixed.
  • Crowding: For best results, leave plenty of room around the biscuits. The hot air that circulates in the air fryer, will help cook the biscuits.
  • Flipping: Depending on the air fryer that you are using, you may need to flip the biscuits halfway during the cooking cycle.
  • Timing: Since every air fryer is slightly different, it’s important that you check on your air fryer biscuits, as they cook up.

Air Fryer Low Carb Biscuits Recipe

You can easily adapt this recipe for a low-carb and keto-friendly recipe. All you need to do is a substitute, the flour for a keto self-rising flour recipe!

The rest of the ingredients in this recipe are keto and low-carb friendly, but remember to check the labels to make sure you are picking keto-friendly options.

How To Store Air Fryer Biscuits

If you have any leftover biscuits, let them cool to room temperature. Then place them into an airtight container or Ziploc bag. The biscuits will last for 2 to 3 days, at room temperature.

To Freeze: These biscuits freeze really well. Let them cool to room temperature, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the freezer, and freeze until frozen solid. Remove the biscuits, and place them into a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. They will last for about 2 to 3 months.

How To Reheat Biscuits In The Air Fryer

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to reheat biscuits? Then you need to try using your air fryer! In just a few minutes, your biscuits will be heated through and ready to enjoy. Here is how to do it, perfectly every time.

  1. Place the biscuits into the air fryer.
  2. Set the temperature to 300 degrees F, using the air fryer setting.
