Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
• cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon Sliced black olives
• 6 grape tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 teaspoon taco seasoning
• 2.5 ounces thin corn tortilla chips
• 1.25 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese

Recipe Instructions

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

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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 5

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.
