Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.

THE ORIGINAL NACHOS



The Original Nachos image

The first nachos were said to have been invented in Piedras Negras, Mexico, in 1940, with just three ingredients. As the story goes, a group of women walked into the Victory Club in Piedras outside business hours. Aiming to please, Ignacio Anaya, the maître d'hôtel known as Nacho, ran to the kitchen and made a quick appetizer with ingredients he found. Today's nachos know no end to their variations: They can have a number of seasoned layers, like these bricklayer-style nachos, or these vegetarian bean nachos, or simply be topped with cheese sauce, like those sold at concession stands. But the simplicity of its original, with its barely salted chips, nutty melted cheese and briny pickled jalapeños, is sure to charm true fans.

Time 10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 pound store-bought or Homemade Tortilla Chips (see recipe)
1 pound shredded Colby cheese (about 4 packed cups)
1 cup thinly sliced store-bought or homemade Pickled Jalapeños (see recipe), plus 2 to 4 tablespoons brine

Steps:

  • Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 400 degrees.
  • Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on two large sheet pans. Place a scant tablespoon of shredded cheese over each chip, pressing slightly to adhere. Top each chip with 1 or 2 slices pickled jalapeño. Sprinkle or spoon the pickled jalapeño brine all over the chips. Bake until cheese melts completely and begins to lightly brown at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Serve nachos immediately, directly on the hot baking sheets, or use a spatula to transfer them to a platter.
