Notes

Oven instructions: Preheat your oven to 425F and bake your nachos in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes.
For smaller air fryers: work in batches to finish air frying all of your nachos. Even smaller air fryers should only take 2 batches; mine was 1 ½ batches. Oven style air fryers will have enough room for a full batch.
Additional topping suggestions:
  • Avocado chunks
  • Cooked taco meat
  • Shredded chicken
  • Red onion
  • Lime wedges
