Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 dates
- 8 oz ground chorizo
- 6 slices bacon center cut
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook chorizo until browned and cooked through, stirring as needed.
- Take each date and slice through halfway, removing the pit if needed, but taking care to make sure the date stays in one piece.
- Stuff each date with cooked chorizo.
- Take each slice of back and slice in half horizontally. Wrap each half of bacon around each of the dates and secure with a toothpick.
- Place in the air fryer basket and cook at 390 degrees F for 6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes until bacon is cooked through.
- Remove and serve as desired.
Notes
- Try not to slice the dates all the way through, as you want them to hold together after stuffing.
- Stuff the dates as full of chorizo as you can before wrapping in bacon!
- The toothpick will help to hold the dates together while cooking in the air fryer.
- You may have chorizo leftover after stuffing the dates. Save it and use with scrambled eggs the next day!
