INGREDIENTS

  • Preparation

    • Cooking spray

  • Base

    • 🌽 2 ½ ounces thin corn tortilla chips

  • Seasoning

    • ½ teaspoon taco seasoning

  • Cheese

    • 🧀 1 ¼ cups shredded pepper Jack cheese

  • Toppings

    • 1 tablespoon sliced black olives
    • 🍅 6 grape tomatoes, halved
    • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro

STEPS

1

Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) for about 3 minutes. Line air fryer basket with foil or a parchment liner, and spray with cooking spray.

2

Spread out chips in the fryer basket in a single layer, slightly overlapping chips, so the cheese doesn't melt through. Lightly dust chips with taco seasoning to get a pop of taco flavor, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Don't overcrowd the basket.

3

Top cheese with olives and tomatoes and place basket in the air fryer.

4

Air-fry until cheese is melted and chips are starting to slightly brown on the edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Watch closely to be sure the cheese doesn't burn. If necessary, add additional time until you reach your preferred crispness.

5

Move nachos to a plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.
