Air Fryer Nachos
Description
Use your air fryer to prepare these quick and easy nachos, topped with pepper Jack cheese, black olives, tomatoes, and cilantro. They make a perfect party appetizer.
Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
2 1/2 ounces thin corn tortilla chips
•
1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning
•
1 1/4 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese
•
1 tablespoon sliced black olives
•
6 grape tomatoes, halved
•
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
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.
