Yield 10 servings

Air-fryer nachos are "nach-your" average nachos. In less than 30 minutes, you can have crunchy, cheesy nachos on the table with all your favorite fixings.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
1 jar (16 ounces) salsa
1 can (6-1/2 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
2-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 packages (11 ounces each) tortilla chips
Optional: Sliced ripe olives, chopped green onions, sour cream and diced tomatoes

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in refried beans, salsa, olives, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, chili powder and salt; heat through.
Meanwhile, preheat air fryer to 350°. In batches, arrange tortillas in a single layer on foil-lined tray in air-fryer basket. Top with beef mixture and remaining cheese. Cook until cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes. If desired, top with additional olives, onions, sour cream and tomatoes.
