Equipment

  • 5.8 qt. Basket-style air fryer
  • Parchment paper, cut to size (1 air fryer liner)

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz tortilla chips
  • 1 ½ cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup cooked ground sausage, mild breakfast sausage (Preferred meat)

Instructions
 

No leftovers, no problem

  • Believe it or not today we didn't have any tasty leftovers for the nachos. My favorite addition is to use a mild breakfast sausage. Unpack the sausage and place it in a pan/skillet.
  • Cook and crumble the sausage until done.
  • Drain the excess oil from the sausage.
  • Set ½ cup of sausage crumbles to the side.

Nacho Time

  • Shred 1 ½ cups of Colby Jack cheese.
  • Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. It will make it a lot easier to take the nachos out and place them on a plate when ready to serve.
    NOTE: You can use an air fryer liner or even aluminum foil (be careful it will be hot).
  • Evenly layer your tortilla chips in the air fryer basket and add cheese with the sausage crumbles to cover the chips. Repeat for the second layer.
  • Air fry at 350 degrees F. for 4 to 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden to your liking.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
