Recipe Notes
While I love this recipe as is, I know not everyone is a spicy lover like my family!
Feel free to swap in the following ingredients to make these your own:
- Ground beef for ground turkey
- Fresh herbs, like parsley or cilantro, for the spice
- Spice blends like a mild taco seasoning or herb and onion blend
- If dairy free, feel free to omit the cheese
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can certainly cook these on the grill, in the oven or over the stove in a cast iron skillet!
