Preheat the Ninja Foodi Grill to 350°F with the roasting pan in the air crisp basket and the splatter screen on top.

5

Roll the taco meat into thin shapes, trying to avoid making them too thick as they will shrink during cooking.

Place the rolled taco dogs into the preheated grill, cooking three at a time.

7

While the taco dogs are cooking, slice tomatoes and scoop out the insides using a spoon.

8

Chop the green parts of 2 green onions and set aside.

Prepare iceberg lettuce by cutting it in half and shredding it, removing any large white parts.

10

Gather pre-sliced black olives, sour cream, cheese, and sriracha for toppings.

11

After cooking for 12 minutes, check the taco dogs to see if they are done.

12

Dress the taco dogs with sour cream, cheese, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, and sriracha as desired.
