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.

EASY CHILI NACHOS
This makes a wonderful quick late-night snack, and it's a great way to use up any leftover chili I freeze some of my chili just to make this recipe --- I sprinkle finely chopped jalapeno peppers on top of second layer of cheese, but that is only optional add them on if you like heat --- all ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste. Prepare a double recipe in two separate pie plates if you are serving more than 6 people. Prep time does not include making the chili --- this is very good!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better your nachos will taste. Make sure to use fresh vegetables, shredded cheese, and your favorite chili recipe.
- Don't skimp on the cheese. Nachos are all about the cheese, so don't be afraid to use as much as you like. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of shredded cheese per person.
- Bake the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will help to ensure that the cheese is evenly distributed and that the nachos are nice and crispy.
- Load up the nachos with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and jalapeños. You can also add anything else you like, such as cooked ground beef, black beans, or corn.
- Serve the nachos immediately. Nachos are best when they're hot and fresh out of the oven. So, serve them as soon as they're done baking.
