Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Base
  • 2 cups Diced Potatoes Any starchy variety; sweet potatoes for a healthier twist.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Avocado oil is a great alternative.
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
For the Savory Filling
  • 1 cup Diced Onions Shallots can be a milder substitute.
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Can swap for ground turkey or plant-based option.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Cheddar is a perfect pairing; dairy-free options work.
For the Special Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Low-Fat Mayo Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup Opt for sugar-free if desired.
  • 1 tbsp Mustard

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Toss the diced potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated. Air fry for 16-18 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  2. While potatoes crisp, heat a skillet over medium-low heat and sauté diced onions for 10-15 minutes until soft and golden. Set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high, add ground beef, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Combine low-fat mayo, ketchup, mustard, and Cajun seasoning in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Assemble the bowl: start with crispy potatoes, add beef and onions, top with shredded cheese and special sauce, and finish with fresh lettuce and optional toppings.
