Ingredients
- Leftover sourdough pizza dough
- Leftover taco meat
- Tomato sauce
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Add the tomato sauce to the taco meat.
- Roll out the pizza dough.
- Place the meat in the middle.
- Fold over and pinch the edges with your fingers, then seal with a fork. A good seal keeps the filling from escaping.
- Spray liberally with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 375°F for 20 minutes, giving them another quick spray halfway through for extra crunch.
Leftovers, but make them a party.
