Ingredients
Scale
- ½ lb ground beef
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin

- Repeat the layers with the remaining chips, cheese, tomato, bell pepper, and ground beef.
- Air fry for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the basket and top the nachos with fresh sliced scallions and chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately with a side of sour cream or your other favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, or jalapeños.
