Ingredients
  

  • 0.227 can crescent roll dough
  • 1.0 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1.0 packet taco seasoning
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped onion
  • 0.25 cup salsa
  • 1.0 spray cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
  • Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Once browned, drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning along with a splash of water (as instructed on the packet). Cook until the seasoning is well mixed and the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Assemble the Rolls: Lay out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles as per the perforations. Place a spoonful of the taco meat mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle with a little chopped onion and cheddar cheese, then add a small spoonful of salsa.
  • Roll Them Up: Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up towards the point to encase the filling. Make sure to pinch the seams to seal them.
  • Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the rolled tacos in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded (you may need to do these in batches).
  • Air Fry: Cook the taco rolls in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the rolls from the air fryer. Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sliced jalapeños.
