Instructions
- 1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease. Add the taco seasoning and water. Stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Set aside.
- 2. Heat the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, heat in a saucepan over low heat. Set aside.
- 3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper that has holes. Spread a layer of tortilla chips in the basket. Top with refried beans, seasoned ground beef, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeño slices, and red onion.
- 4. Carefully place the basket in the air fryer. Set the air fryer to 350°F. Air fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chips are heated through.
- 5. Transfer the nachos to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
