Time 18m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
8 ounces lean ground beef
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 ounces thin corn tortilla chips
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ (15.25 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
⅓ cup salsa, or to taste
3 tablespoons sliced green onions
⅓ cup sour cream, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer at 360 degrees F (182 degrees C) for about 5 minutes. Line the air fryer basket with foil or a parchment liner, and spray with cooking spray.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat and cook ground beef until browned and crumbly, about 3 minutes; drain grease. Stir in water, taco seasoning, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Set tortilla chips in the basket, spreading them out and overlapping slightly so the melted cheese won't drip through the open gaps. Evenly sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chips. Only add a couple of layers of chips with cheese in between in the fryer basket, or just add a single layer and cook in batches.
  • Evenly distribute ground beef and black beans over the cheese, sprinkle green onions on top, and add spoonfuls of salsa.
  • Transfer the basket into the air fryer and cook until cheese is melted and starting to slightly brown on the edges, 4 to 6 minutes. The nachos will cook evenly and quickly but watch closely so they don't burn.
  • Remove nachos to a serving plate, garnish with sour cream, and serve immediately. Put extra toppings in small bowls and let everybody customize their nachos.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini and mushrooms: Select firm, medium-sized zucchini and fresh, evenly sized mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
  • Slice the zucchini and mushrooms evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly in the air fryer. Aim for 1/4-inch thick slices for both the zucchini and mushrooms.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them crisp up in the air fryer and enhance their flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: Leave some space between the zucchini and mushrooms so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding can result in soggy vegetables.
  • Cook the zucchini and mushrooms in batches if necessary: If you have a large amount of vegetables, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding. This will ensure that they cook evenly and don't become soggy.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking: This will help the vegetables cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the basket.
  • Serve the zucchini and mushrooms immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Air fryer zucchini and mushrooms are a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a variety of meals. They are also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
