Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 2 cups corn tortilla chips
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup fresh pico de gallo
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 green onion stalk diced

Instructions

  • Cook the ground beef. This can be done in a large skillet or the air fryer. Add taco seasoning and set aside.
  • Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with parchment paper.
  • Layer with half of the nacho chips, half the cheese, half of the beef, and half the pico de gallo.
  • Repeat the layers.
  • Cook at 390 degrees for 7-10 mins, or until the cheese melts.
  • Serve immediately with sour cream and green onions.

Notes

  • The exact cooking time will vary depending on the size of your air fryer and how full it is. Keep a close eye on things to avoid burning.
  • Use parchment paper to make cleanup easy and keep your chips from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • For a smaller serving of nachos, simply make a single layer instead of two.
  • The chips will get soggy over time. To prevent this, eat them right away or reserve the pico de gallo for topping, rather than cooking it in the air fryer.
  • While they are best when eaten immediately, leftover nachos can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • We have a ton of yummy homemade salsa variations that you could try, like this fresh salsa, the best homemade canned salsa, and a yummy mango salsa.
