air fryer Layered Taco Pie Cake

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef or turkey
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 packet of taco seasoning mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Layers:

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup sliced black olives
• 1 cup diced green onions
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup guacamole
• 1 cup sliced jalapeños (optional for heat)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef or turkey over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it’s translucent.
2. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Cook according to the package instructions until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
4. Assemble the layers in the air fryer basket:
   • Start with a tortilla at the bottom.
   • Spread a layer of refried beans on top of the tortilla.
   • Add a layer of the meat mixture.
   • Sprinkle a portion of shredded cheddar cheese.
   • Place another tortilla on top and repeat the layers until you’ve used all the filling and tortillas, ending with a tortilla on top.
5. Place the layered cake into the preheated air fryer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until it’s heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Carefully remove the taco pie cake from the air fryer and let it cool slightly before transferring it to a serving platter.
7. Once the taco pie cake has cooled a bit, you can add the cold toppings. Spread a layer of sour cream over the top, followed by salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, green onions, cheddar cheese, guacamole, and jalapeños (if desired).
8. Slice and serve your layered taco pie cake as you would a regular cake. Enjoy!…
