Ingredients

8 small tortillas (corn or flour) for homemade tortilla chips
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Sour cream and guacamole for serving (optional)
Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

Prepare Tortilla Chips: Cut the tortillas into triangles and spray lightly with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Place them in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer.
Air Fry the Chips: Set the Air Fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
Layer the Nachos: Once the chips are done, remove them from the Air Fryer and layer them on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chips, followed by black beans, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and olives. Top with the remaining cheese.
Air Fry Again: Return the loaded nachos to the Air Fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Carefully remove the nachos from the Air Fryer, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
