Description
Make crispy ground turkey taco filling quickly in your air fryer for fast, healthy taco bowls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup cooked rice (for serving)
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons salsa
Instructions
- Place the ground turkey in the air fryer basket.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the turkey.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes, breaking up the meat halfway through.
- Drain any excess liquid from the air fryer basket.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water.
- Return the seasoned turkey to the air fryer and cook at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the meat is slightly browned and crispy.
- Assemble your bowls: Layer the cooked rice, black beans, crispy turkey mixture, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and salsa in each bowl.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, spread the seasoned turkey in a single layer in the air fryer basket for the final 5 minutes of cooking, avoiding overcrowding.
- You can prepare the rice and chop the vegetables ahead of time for faster assembly.
- Use your favorite low-carb base like cauliflower rice if desired.
