Indulge in these air fryer beefy nacho-stuffed onion bombs for a flavor-packed comfort treat. Perfectly crispy, cheesy, and loaded with irresistible flavors!
Ingredients
- • large onions: 4
- • ground beef: 1 lb (450 g)
- • shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- • cream cheese: 1/2 cup, softened
- • diced jalapeños: 1/4 cup
- • taco seasoning: 1 tbsp
- • crushed corn chips (nacho flavor): 1 cup
- • olive oil: 1 tbsp
- • salt: to taste
- • pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 Peel the onions and cut off the tops. Carefully hollow out the centers, leaving two layers of onion to form a shell. Reserve the onion centers for another use.
- 3 In a bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, diced jalapeños, and taco seasoning. Mix until well combined.
- 4 Stuff each onion shell with the beef and cheese mixture, packing it tightly for even cooking.
- 5 Brush the outside of each stuffed onion with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- 6 Roll each stuffed onion in crushed corn chips, pressing gently so they adhere to the surface.
- 7 Place the onion bombs in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Air fry for 18-20 minutes or until the onions are tender and the exterior is crispy.
- 8 Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Air Fryer Beefy Nacho-Stuffed Onion Bombs pair perfectly with a side of creamy guacamole or a fresh salsa for a refreshing contrast. Serve them alongside a cold Mexican beer or a zesty margarita for a truly indulgent experience. For a complete meal, consider a side of spicy Mexican rice or a crisp side salad with a tangy lime vinaigrette. The rich, cheesy filling and crispy onion shell make these bombs a hearty dish that can stand alone, but the right accompaniments elevate the meal to an unforgettable feast. Whether you're hosting a game day party or enjoying a family dinner, these onion bombs are sure to impress.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover onion bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it may cause the onions to become soggy. If you have unassembled filling left, it can be stored separately and used to stuff fresh onions later.
