Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups Tortilla Chips
  • ½ tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ lb Ground Beef
  • 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (grated or shredded)
  • ½ cup Black Beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 Tomato (diced)
  • 1 Green Onion (chopped or diced)
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper (stem and seeds removed, chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the Meat: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. In a bowl, mix ground beef with taco seasoning, then cook the mixture in the skillet until the meat is crumbly and browned. Drain any excess fat or grease from the cooked meat.
  2. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Remove the basket from your air fryer and line it with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend up the sides of the basket. Spray the parchment paper lightly with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Layer the Nachos: Arrange the tortilla chips evenly on the parchment paper with minimal overlap. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the chips, then add the warm cooked ground beef, black beans, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and chopped green onions on top.
  4. Air Fry the Nachos: Place the basket in the air fryer and cook the nachos at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Check if the cheese is melted and bubbly; if so, carefully remove the basket from the air fryer.
  5. Add Cold Toppings and Serve: Top the nachos with any remaining cold ingredients such as additional black beans, diced tomatoes, jalapenos, and green onions if preferred. Finish with dollops of sour cream and serve immediately for a warm, flavorful snack.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of tortilla chips based on the size of your air fryer basket.
  • Use parchment paper with extended sides to make cleanup easier and prevent melting cheese from sticking.
  • Remove seeds from jalapenos to reduce heat, or leave some seeds if you prefer spicier nachos.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and add extra beans or veggies.
  • Serve with additional salsa or guacamole for extra flavor.
