Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 ½ ounces thin corn tortilla chips
  • ½ teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 1 ¼ cups shredded pepper Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon sliced black olives
  • 6 grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3
Top cheese with olives and tomatoes and place basket in the air fryer.

Step 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.

Step 5
Move nachos to a plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.

Cook’s Note:

Use whatever kind of cheese you prefer. Don't overload the tortilla chips to avoid soggy nachos.
