Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 5 small/medium potatoes
  • olive oil + salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (for potatoes)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp each of cumin, paprika, and dried cilantro
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups microwaved white Queso
  • Sour Cream
  • Pico de Gallo
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Peel, wash potatoes, and cut up into cubes.
  • Add the potatoes to a large bowl. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (I don’t use exact measurements for this part).
  • Cook potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes shaking them around at least a couple times while they cook.
  • Heat a skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain any extra grease. Season with salt, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried cilantro, and black pepper. Add minced garlic and stir well.
  • Once the potatoes and ground beef are cooked combine them together in the skillet and pour warmed up Queso over them. Top with fresh cilantro. Top each plate with some sour cream and Pico de Gallo. Enjoy!

Notes

I used a white queso dip from Sam's Club called Pancho's White Queso, but any microwavable white cheese dip should work for this recipe.
Any leftovers from this recipe are also good wrapped up in tortillas as burritos!
