Instructions

  1. Start by heating a pan over medium high heat. Add your ground beef and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes until it is browned.
  2. Remove from the heat and drain off the excess fat. Then return the ground beef to the stove.
  3. Add the taco seasoning and approximately 1/4 cup of water. Stir together and continue cooking until the water reduces and you are left with seasoned ground beef. Approximately 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside. See note 1.
  4. Loosely line the bottom of the air fryer basket with aluminum foil. Make sure it comes up the side of the air fryer. This will be the "bowl" you cook your nachos in.
  5. Start with a layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Try not to let them overlap too much.
  6. Next sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and then finish with some of the seasoned taco meat.
  7. Repeat this layering 1 or two more times. You can make as many layers as you can fit in your air fryer basket. Just make sure the top of your nachos are below the rim of the basket.
  8. Place the air fryer basket in the air fryer and set air fryer to 350 degrees F. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
  9. Carefully remove the nachos from the air fryer and place on a plate (you can leave the foil underneath or gently lift them off of it). Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • You only need half of the taco meat. You can either make a second batch of nachos or let the meat cool and place it in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. This way you can make nachos any time!
  • These instructions and measurements are just a guideline. You can use as much or as little cheese and meat as you like!
