How to Make Nachos in an Air Fryer
What You’ll Need
Making nachos in an air fryer is a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy a snack. To make your nachos, you’ll need the following items:
- 1 bag of tortilla chips
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- 1 can of refried beans
- 1/2 cup of salsa
- Optional toppings such as jalapenos, olives, sour cream, and guacamole
Preparing the Ingredients
Once you have all the ingredients, you’ll need to prepare them. Start by preheating the air fryer to 350°F. Then, spread the tortilla chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Top the chips with the refried beans and the shredded cheese. If you’re using any optional toppings, add them now.
Cooking the Nachos
Once the air fryer is preheated and the ingredients are prepared, it’s time to cook the nachos. Place the basket in the air fryer and set the timer for 8 minutes. The nachos will be done when the cheese is melted and the chips are golden brown.
Serving the Nachos
When the nachos are done, remove the basket from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, transfer the nachos to a serving plate. Top the nachos with salsa and any additional toppings you may like. Serve the nachos while they’re still warm and enjoy!
Tips
- For extra crunch, try adding a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips on top of the nachos.
- You can also add different kinds of cheese to the nachos for extra flavor.
- If you’re looking for a healthier option, try baking the nachos in the oven instead of using an air fryer.
