Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 cups tortilla chips
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 green onion chopped
  • ¼ cup black olives sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • Optional Toppings: jalapenos, lettuce, corn, salsa, pico de gallo, cilantro

Instructions

  • Start by breaking up the beef by hand and putting it into the air fryer basket. Add a little bit of olive oil on top and sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef evenly as well.
  • Cook the beef mixture for 5 minutes at 400 degrees.
  • Once the time has passed, open up the air fryer basket and use your wooden spoon to toss the beef around. Once you've mixed it up a bit, cook it in the air fryer for another 3-4 minutes. You want to be sure that there is no pink remaining and that it's browned completely.
  • Put the cooked meat in a small bowl and set it aside for later.
  • Clean the grease that is on the bottom of the air fryer basket and then add a layer of parchment paper. It's time to start putting together the nachos!
  • Put the chips on the paper and then add on the shredded cheese.
  • Add the cooked taco meat, black beans and cheese and put that into the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350 degrees. You want the cheese to be melted.
  • Once that cooking time has passed, add the cut tomatoes, black olives, sour cream, and other toppings.
  • Lift the nachos out of the air fryer using the edges of the parchment paper and put them onto a plate.

Notes

Storage: Leftover nachos aren't recommended. Store the leftover taco meat and make fresh air fryer nachos the next day.
