    Ingredients

    Tortilla Chips - Use any plain or flavored tortilla chips or nachos.

    Cheese - Use any cheese blend as you prefer. I like to use a combination of sharp cheddar and mozzarella.

    Beans - Gives a protein punch to the nachos.

    Salsa - I used my homemade cherry tomato salsa. You can simply use any homemade or storebought salsa.

    Taco seasonings - Adds a perfect spice balance to the nachos.

    Onions, Tomato, Pepper - Chop all of them finely and sprinkle over the nachos.

    Toppings - Feel free to load and customize the nachos as you prefer. Here are some options, Black olives, de seeded Jalapenos, Cilantro

    Steps to follow to make Nachos like a Pro

    Prep the veggies: Chop all the veggies as needed. Most common ones are onion, tomato, pepper, Jalapenos. It will come handy and speed up the process.

    Prep the condiments: If using store bought salsa or canned beans keep them ready. Drain the excess water from the beans wash them and keep them.

    Prep your device: I'm using an air fryer, but you can also use your oven. If using an air fryer, it's wise to line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil to avoid the mess. The same applies to oven as well. Line the baking tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

    Assemble the Nachos: Arrange the chips, followed by cheese, beans, seasonings, veggies. You can also double the layers if you prefer.

    Topping for the Nachos: Use as you prefer and as per your taste. Cook the Nachos: The last step, Air fry or Bake the Nachos as you prefer.

    How to make Air Fryer Nachos

    Spread parchment paper over an air fryer basket. Arrange the tortilla chips on top of the parchment paper.

    Next spread in a generous layer of cheese. I am using mozzarella cheese. But you can use a combination of cheese.

    Top it with some salsa and black beans.

    Sprinkle some chopped onions, tomato, Olives, bell pepper and taco seasoning. If you like some spice, you also deseed and finely chop jalapenos and add them. You can also add more cheese if you prefer.

    Now put the basket to the air fryer. Air fry at 160 C / 320 F for 5 mins or till the cheese melts.
