Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups tortilla chips
  • ½ cup cooked meat see notes for suggestions.
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup diced bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sliced pickled jalapenos
  • ½ cup shredded cheese Monterey jack, cheddar, or a blend
  • sliced green onion for garnish
  • chopped avocado for garnish
  • sriracha for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Meanwhile, prepare an 8" springform pan by lining the base with a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Then layer the nachos on top of the parchment paper, add desired toppings to the nachos, then top with shredded cheese.
  • Cook the nachos in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the nachos are hot throughout.
  • Remove the springform pan from the air fryer, unclip the ring and slide the nachos onto a serving plate.
  • Serve immediately with sour cream and your favorite salsa.

Notes

* Meat:

This recipe works awesome with taco seasoned ground beef, leftover smoked brisket, smoked pork, or roast beef. Use what you've got handy.

Batch:

Each springform pan full makes enough nachos for 2 people or one really hungry person! If you need more nachos than that, have each person build their own nachos and bake them each their own batch.

Storage:

If you've got leftover nachos, simply allow them to cool to room temperature then store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, preheat the air fryer to 350f, and reheat nachos in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes.
