Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, add the tortilla chips and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded cheese over the tortilla chips evenly.
  4. Step 4: Add toppings: start with jalapeños, then olives, tomatoes, and diced avocado. Top with green onions and cilantro.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the baking sheet with the nachos into the preheated air fryer and cook for about 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Step 6: Remove nachos from the air fryer, transfer to a platter, and serve immediately with salsa and Greek yogurt.

Notes

  • Prep toppings in advance to save time.
  • Assemble just before air frying to keep nachos crisp.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for a crunchy texture.
