Air fryer nachos | Good Food

Units:

For the salsa

2 large, ripe, firm tomatoes
1 small red onion
peeled
1 tsp olive oil
½ lime
juiced (save the other ½ for the nachos)
pinch of chilli powder
(optional)

For the nachos

400g can black beans
drained and rinsed
1 tsp Cajun-style or fajita seasoning
½ lime
juiced
200g salted tortilla chips
75g mature cheddar
grated
100g grated mozzarella
or whole mozzarella, torn
small handful of coriander
roughly chopped (optional)

Method

step 1
For the salsa, coarsely grate the tomatoes into a bowl, discarding any skin left behind, then grate in the onion. Stir in the olive oil, lime juice and chilli powder, if using, and a pinch of salt, then set aside. Can be made a day ahead and chilled.
step 2
Tip the beans into a bowl with the Cajun seasoning and the rest of the lime juice, then use a potato masher to roughly mash. Line the air fryer basket with baking parchment. Layer in half the tortilla chips, half the beans and half the cheese, then repeat to make a second layer.
step 3
Air-fry at 200C for 8-10 mins, or until the cheese is melted, golden and bubbling. Use the sides of the parchment to lift the nachos onto a platter, then spoon over half the tomato salsa and scatter over the coriander, if using. Serve with the rest of the salsa on the side.
