📖 Recipe
Loaded Air Fryer Nachos
Equipment
- 1 air fryer liner, enamel dish or a cake tin you can also use an air fryer liner
Ingredients
- 1 bag tortilla chips I like lightly salted
- grated cheese I use mature cheddar cheese
- 1 big portion chilli need a recipe? Mushroom Chilli or Quick Thermomix Chilli both work great. As does the Ninja Speedi Bean Chilli or, if you fancy changing it up, use our BBQ Pulled Pork
Instructions
- The key to loaded nachos is a double layer! Start with a layer of tortilla chips or Doritos to your chosen dish or pan or air fryer liner (if using a liner, do it straight in the air fryer).
- Then add a then a layer of Chilli.
- Then a layer of cheese of your choice (including vegan cheese).
- Then repeat with another layer of tortilla chips, then the chilli then finish with lots of cheese.
- Air fry for 4 minutes at 180ºC (355 F for those of you in the United States), add 2 minutes for air fryers that count down immediately like the Ninjas.
Toppings for your Air Fryer Nachos
Choose your favourite toppings and keep our method or choose from our Thermomix Bean Chilli recipe or Ninja Speedi recipe (both quick and easy) or, of course, our popular Pressure Cooker Mushroom Chilli.
Also great with our easy BBQ Pulled Pork or Instant Pot Pulled Pork with Creamy Paprika Sauce which, if you can't have dairy, would be great as you could use the Creamy Paprika Sauce instead of cheese.
