Air Fryer Ground Beef Taco Bowls
Description
Crispy mini taco bowls filled with seasoned ground beef and melted cheese, air fried in minutes and finished with fresh toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef, 90% or leaner
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 3 tablespoons water
- 24 mini soft taco bowls
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup pico de gallo or salsa
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, about 5 minutes, until it's browned and reaches 160°F. Drain.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F. Fill each bowl with about 1½ tablespoons of beef and a pinch of cheese.
- Air fry in a single layer for 3 to 5 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining bowls.
- Mix the lime juice into the sour cream. Top the bowls with lettuce, pico de gallo, lime sour cream, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray, optional
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
Cook in batches for the crispiest shells. Store the beef separately for up to 4 days.
