- ¼ cup red onion diced, divided
- ¾ cup tomato diced, divided

- 3 cups Tex Mex cheese shredded, divided

Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer to 370F, then place a liner or parchment paper carefully in the basket. Note: to speed up the process you can pre-fit your parchment paper to the air fryer basket and set it aside during preheating.
- Create 2 even layers of chips, and toppings. Add 1 cup of cheese to the first layer, and 2 cups to the second layer. Bake for 4-5 minutes. Note: the time may vary depending on how much your air fryer cools down while you prep the nachos.
- Top with any garnishes and enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. They will become soggy the longer they sit.
- To Reheat: To reheat, place the nachos back in the air fryer to crisp up for a couple of minutes until heated.
- This recipe is very flexible regarding the amount of ingredients suggested. You can add more or less based on preference.
- The key to keeping your nachos crispy is layering. The more ingredients you add, the more moist and soggy they will become.
- Choose chips that are restaurant quality for best results. They should be hefty enough to hold up under layers.
