Ingredients you’ll need

• Oil – for sauteing your onion
• Choose your protein – Any ground meat or meat alternative will work here – ground beef, ground turkey, beyond meat veggie alternative, etc.
• Diced Onion – onion adds flavor and texture to the meat.
• Corn Kernels – I love the addition of corn to the meat mixture. 
• Taco seasoning  – use your favorite blend, or make your own!
• Bisquick mix – what would a taco pie be without some biscuit-y crust? 
• Milk (of your choice) – for the biscuit topping.
• Eggs – Eggs are also needed to mix with the Bisquick
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese – You will definitely want to melt some cheese on top of this.
• Chopped Lettuce – this adds color and crunch. 
• Diced Fresh Tomatoes – your finishing touch! Add the lettuce and tomatoes after your taco pie is done cooking

How To Make Air Fryer Taco Pie

1. In a skillet over medium heat warm the oil and saute the onion for a few minutes, then add in the protein and saute until cooked.
2. Then add in spices and corn. Stir to combine.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, milk and eggs. Add to skillet mixture.
4. Put the entire skillet mixture into an oiled air fryer pot. Air Fry as directed,  Stirring part way through. 
5. Add cheese, and put the entire skillet mixture into an oiled air fryer pot. Air Fry at 370F/190C for 16 minutes. Stir at the 10-minute mark.
6. Top with diced tomatoes and lettuce. Enjoy!

What to Serve with Air Fryer Taco Pie

 I love to serve this taco pie with a simple mixed salad with lots of veggies. Some crunchy romaine lettuce with tomato, cucumber, and a simple vinaigrette would be perfect. 

Your favorite steamed or air-fried vegetable would be delicious with this. Try Air Fryer Carrots or Air Fryer Green Beans.

You could try serving it with black beans and rice too. Whatever your family would normally have with tacos would work well with this air fryer meal. 

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you know you’re going to eat it later, don’t add the fresh toppings on until ready to serve. they will get soggy in the fridge.

More Toppings ideas

Try adding these things to your taco pie for some variation:

• Sliced black olives
• Diced avocado
• Salsa
• Sour Cream
• Cilantro

Anything you would put in a taco is fair game here. 

Bisquick vs tortillas

Some people do use tortillas to make a similar recipe, but I find that using the Bisquick mix gives this dish a really nice texture and helps it to cook evenly in the air fryer.
