Instructions

Step 1
In small food processor, pulse CHEETOS® Crunchy FLAMIN' HOT® Cheese Flavored Snacks until finely ground. Transfer to shallow bowl.

Step 2
Using rice paddle or spatula, fluff cooked sushi rice in saucepan. Keep warm with lid to prevent rice from drying out.

Step 3
Coat hands with sesame oil and shape 1/2 cup rice into patty. Add 2 tbsp mozzarella to center, top with 1 tsp crushed CHEETOS® and finish with 2 tbsp mozzarella. Close up rice ball to enclose filling and squeeze to shape it into a triangle. Roll in more ground CHEETOS® to coat. Repeat to make 3 balls total.

Step 4
Preheat air-fryer to 400°F according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 5
Arrange rice balls in air-fryer basket. Air-fry, flipping halfway through, for 8 minutes.
