Imagine biting into a warm, golden puff, the exterior yielding to a soft, slightly chewy dough. Inside, a treasure trove of seasoned ground beef awaits, its rich, meaty taste perfectly balanced by the sharp, tangy cheddar cheese that melts into every nook and cranny.

The filling is generously spiced, offering a warming blend of cumin, chili powder, and other carefully selected seasonings that elevate the ground beef to a truly craveable experience.

They can be enjoyed as a satisfying afternoon snack, a crowd-pleasing appetizer for parties, or even a fun and flavorful addition to a game-day spread.

The puffs are also incredibly versatile; feel free to experiment with different cheeses, meats, or spices to customize them to your liking. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, these taco puffs are surprisingly easy to make and are sure to impress anyone who tries them.

Instructions

    1.
    Ensure you have a full recipe of Fathead Dough prepared the night before and stored COLD in the refrigerator.
    2.
    When ready to make the taco puffs, begin by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat with all the seasonings and a diced jalapeno. Use a wooden spoon to break the beef into very crumbly pieces. Cook until the beef is brown and crispy and the jalapeno is bright green and soft.
    3.
    Transfer the taco filling to a small mixing bowl to cool. Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes, then stir in the cheddar cheese. You want the cheese to melt slightly to help the beef stick together, which will aid in forming the puffs later.
    4.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Remove the fathead dough from the refrigerator. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
    5.
    Use two sheets of parchment paper to press each dough ball into a thin, flat disc. Place a generous tablespoon of the taco filling in the center of each dough disc.
    6.
    Bring the edges of the dough circle together over the filling to seal the puff. Press the dough in your hands to form a ball shape, ensuring any openings are sealed. Place the puff, seam-down, in a greased muffin tin.
    7.
    Repeat steps 5-6 until all puffs have been formed and placed in the muffin tin. Then, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter generously over the top of each puff.
    8.
    Bake the puffs for approximately 32 minutes, or until they are golden brown and flaky to the touch. Let them cool slightly before serving!
