Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 6-7 oz. tortilla chips (about half a bag)
- ¾ cup cooked black beans (about 6 oz.)
- 4 oz. can diced green chilis
- 6 oz. freshly shredded cheddar or Monterey jack cheese (about 1½ cups)
- 2-3 small tomatoes, diced
- 1 jalapeno thinly sliced
- 1-2 scallions chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
- sour cream for topping
Instructions
- Tear enough aluminum foil or parchment paper and insert it into your air fryer basket. Make sure to make it long enough to give yourself "handles" to pull when removing.
- Form the foil or paper to the shape of your basket and place it on your counter top. Close your basket and preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
- While preheating, layer half of your nachos onto the foil or parchment sheet. Sprinkle half of your cheese, chilis and beans. Add the rest of your nachos and add your beans, chilis and cheese on top.
- When your air fryer is ready, carefully take the entire sheet of nachos using the "handles" and place it inside your basket and air fry for 2 minutes.
- Take a peak when time goes off. If your cheese is not fully melted, pop back in for one more minute.
- Using the handles, lift the nachos up out of the basket and place them directly onto your serving platter. If using parchment paper, I like to serve the nachos as is. (I think the paper looks nice). If using foil, slide the nachos off the foil using a long spatula.
- Top your nachos with the tomatoes, jalapenos, scallions, a large dollop of sour cream and freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot!
Notes
? I recommend serving with my flourless white cheddar queso! It's made without flour and is the perfect consistency for nachos and will not harden like other cheddar based sauces. It's super easy to make too.
