Ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cooked ground beef or turkey
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine the cooked ground beef or turkey with taco seasoning. Stir until the meat is well-coated and heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. For easier handling, you can lightly flour your work surface.
- Assemble the Twists:
- Spoon a small amount of the meat mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and green onions.
- Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle towards the narrow end, encasing the filling. Twist the rolled dough slightly to create a spiral shape.
- Air Fry:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the taco twists in a single layer, leaving space between each.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
