Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 ½ ounces thin corn tortilla chips
½ teaspoon taco seasoning
1 ¼ cups shredded pepper Jack cheese
1 tablespoon sliced black olives
6 grape tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

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.
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.
Top cheese with olives and tomatoes and place basket in the air fryer.
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.
Move nachos to a plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.
