Certainly! Here's a reimagined version of the air fryer nachos recipe, inspired by the one from Crumb Top Baking :
Quick & Easy Air Fryer Nachos
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
-
6–8 cups thick tortilla chips (store-bought or homemade)
-
1 small red onion, finely chopped
-
½ yellow bell pepper, diced
-
½ red bell pepper, diced
-
½ small jalapeño, deseeded and minced (optional)
-
¾ cup sliced black olives
-
3 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
-
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
-
Fresh cilantro, chopped
-
Sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for serving
Instructions
-
Prepare the Air Fryer: Line the bottom of your air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
-
First Layer: Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly in the basket.
-
Add Toppings: Sprinkle half of the chopped onions, bell peppers, jalapeños (if using), olives, and shredded cheese over the chips.
-
Second Layer: Repeat the layering process with the remaining chips, vegetables, and cheese.
-
Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 165°C (330°F) and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the chips are golden.
-
Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the nachos from the air fryer. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side.
Tips
-
Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure the toppings don't touch the heating element to prevent burning.
-
Batch Cooking: If your air fryer is small, consider cooking the nachos in batches to ensure even cooking.
-
Cheese Selection: For optimal melting, use full-fat cheese and shred it yourself rather than using pre-shredded varieties.(recipepopular.com)
