- 8 oz ground beef
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.75 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp scallions
Cooking instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Scrub the sweet potatoes, pat them dry, and pierce each several times with a fork. (about 3 min) — 400°F
- Air-fry the sweet potatoes at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway, until a knife slides easily into the centers. (about 35 min) — 400°F
- While the potatoes cook, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles, until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F. (about 8 min) — 160°F
- Stir the taco seasoning and salsa into the cooked beef and simmer for 2 minutes, until hot and well combined. (about 2 min) — medium-high
- Split the tender potatoes lengthwise and gently open them. Fill each with the taco beef, top with cheddar, and return them to the air fryer at 400°F for 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese melts. (about 2 min) — 400°F
- Top with the scallions and serve hot. (about 1 min)
