Ingredients for Air Fryer Nachos
Tortilla Chips– You can use your favorite tortilla chips for this recipe. Corn tortilla chips are my favorite but you can also use flour tortilla chips. You can use full size or bite size, whatever your preference.
Shredded Cheese– We love to use a Mexican blend of cheese or a mild cheddar cheese for these nachos. We also love sharp cheddar, pepper jack or Monterey jack cheese. Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded but to make these quick and easy you can use pre-shredded
Nacho Toppings- You can dress these nachos up with any and all of your favorite toppings! For hearty nachos you can add seasoned cooked ground beef or shredded chicken. We also love to add salsa, guacamole, black olives and shredded lettuce. Add all your favorites to make these an easy snack or whole meal!
