Calories 254kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Bag Cauliflower Gnocchi
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp. Taco Seasoning
- 1 cup Seasoned Meat Chorizo, Ground Beef, Shredded Chicken
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
- Toppings:
- Salsa/ Pico De Gallo
- Sliced Jalapenos
- Sliced Black Olives
- Guacamole
- Sour Cream
- Cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or grill to 425 F. If using an air fryer set it to 375 F.
- Take your frozen cauliflower gnocchi out of the package and toss it in a little olive oil and the taco seasoning. Crisp or cook it separately to start before adding the nacho toppings. You can do this in the over in on the grill or is the air fryer.
- Grill & Oven: Place the seasoned gnocchi in a cast iron skillet or on a baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes or until browned. If air frying, place the gnocchi into the basket and cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the grill/oven/air fryer and add your protein (if using) and then cover in the cheese and place back into your oven or grill (I would not air fry at this point). Continue to cook/ smoke for 10-15 minutes until everything is heated through, the cheese has melted and start to brown a bit.
- Remove from your heat source and top with your favorite nacho toppings (salsa, jalapenos, balk olives, green onion, guacamole, sour cream, and hot sauce). Serve straight from the pan and enjoy!
