Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 cup nacho chips, crushed
  • 2 ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add in a large bowl the ground beef, taco seasoning, tomato paste, cumin, egg, salsa, and nacho chips, and stir until well combined.
  2. On top of a cleaned cutting board lay out a large piece of plastic. Then place on top of the plastic the beef mixture, forming a large rectangular shape roughly 1" thick. Finally top with 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.

  6. Once the unit finishes preheating and displays Add Food, carefully transfer the wreath from the cutting board to the Air Fry tray, close the lid.
  7. Once the cooking time has finished, open the lid and sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top, close the lid. Select the Air Fry function, press Temp and set to 400°F. Press Time and again set to 3 Minutes. Press Start.
  8. Once the cooking time has finished, open the lid and transfer the wreath to a serving plate.
