Step 1

Spread a generous layer of tortilla chips across the bottom of your air fryer-safe dish or tray. Make sure the chips slightly overlap to create a sturdy base for all your toppings. Next, sprinkle a hearty handful of grated cheese over the chips. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a spicy blend works great. Cheese is key here, so don’t be shy! After that, layer on your protein of choice. Cooked, shredded chicken is a classic option, but you can also go with seasoned ground beef, pulled pork, or a vegetarian choice like black beans or plant-based meat crumbles. Scatter a few sliced jalapeños over the top for a little heat, then add another layer of cheese if you’re feeling extra indulgent.

Step 2

Place the tray in your air fryer and cook at 175°C (about 350°F) for 5 to 7 minutes. Keep an eye on them. The nachos are ready when the cheese is fully melted, bubbling, and golden, and the edges of the chips are crisped to perfection.

Step 3

Carefully remove the nachos from the air fryer (they’ll be hot!) and immediately top them with your favourite fresh fixings. Think creamy slices of avocado, dollops of sour cream and guacamole, spoonfuls of fresh salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped coriander for a burst of colour and flavour. You can even add a squeeze of lime or some crumbled feta for a little twist.

Step 4

Serve your air-fried loaded nachos straight from the tray for a casual, shareable snack
