Notes

  • Layer the ingredients evenly to let every tortilla chip stay crispy while being filled with all the delicious toppings.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer by never filling up the air fryer more than halfway full.
  • Preheat the air fryer so the nachos get crispy as soon as possible.
  • Reheat any leftovers in the air fryer at 320 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes.
