Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups (90g) tortilla chips
  • 1 ½ cups (350g) ground beef chili cooked
  • 2 cups (160g) shredded cheese

Instructions

  • Fill the air fryer basket to one-third full with tortilla chips.
  • Top with half the ground beef chili and cheese.
  • Top with more nachos to about two-thirds of the way full.
  • Top with remaining cooked chili and cheese.
  • Cook at 350F / 180C for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Remove from air fryer and serve.

Notes

  • Nachos do cook up fast in the Air Fryer and oven, so watch these closely to make sure they don't burn.
  • If you don't have chili, just fry up some beef with cumin and chili and use that instead.
  • Fill the air fryer basket two-thirds with tortilla chips to avoid over crowding and risk these not cooking well.
  • To avoid loosing most of the cheese from dripping make sure to overlap the tortilla chips.
  • Feel free to line the Air Fryer basket with some foil with handles to make it easy to remove the nachos, before adding in the chips.
