This is one of the easiest recipes to make, it was also my oldest son’s favorite, so I thought it deserved some mention. Plus, it’s a real recipe for real people, which is really what I am all about, if you have been following for me for a while, you will notice that I only use common ingredients, and do not require you to go to a specialty grocery shop.
Loaded Nachos have to be the favorite food of everyone. At one point or another in our lives, we all had the opportunity to grab some, whether it was at a local restaurant, a chain restaurant or at a sporting event. Last time I bought my son some at the Philadelphia Flyers hockey game, I want to say I pay close to $20 for a plate, and I was like that’s crazy, but I have to always remind my cheap self that it is part of the experience, so I need to not stress about it so much. Meanwhile, you know I am thinking of my cheap self, I could have made them for about $2.00.
So, here is the very delicious and awesome loaded nachos, that I made my son, they started out with lining the air fryer basket with foil, which is one of the most common questions in the air fryer group, that I am lucky to be running, which I love all of the questions and information, I gather myself. And I love hearing about other people’s adventures with the air fryer, they always give me tons and tons of ideas.
Air fryer nachos might be the ultimate easy appetizer, it’s one of the most perfect foods I have made thus far, and my kids ate them up in seconds. They are great during the summer because you can use all of the fresh vegetables, tomatoes, which are awesome cut up on this.
These are the tortillas, I used in this recipe. White Corn Tortilla.
Layout the tortillas in a stack. I counted out 5.
I used a pizza cutter, to make wedges, cut the tortilla in half and then make three wedges out
On each side, the total amount is 30 pieces you get from 5 tortillas.
Place the cut wedges into a small mixing bowl, and mix together the olive oil (use enough,
so you coat each and every wedge) I added an optional dash of salt. Note: I use my hands for these, to coat each one.
As I put it on the ungreased air fryer tray (If you have a basket, just put them in the uncoated basket)
The weight of the oil will keep them from flying around (at least in the Omni Air Fryer)
Then set the temperature to 320 degrees F (air fryer setting), but you only need 4 minutes, after 2 minutes,
I flipped the chips so that they wouldn’t get burnt on the side. I made this 2x, once without flipping them, and they were dark brown, the second batch, I flipped them and they came out MUCH better.
Then, what I realized after doing the first batch, is as they cool, (I put mine on a dish towel) they harden slightly.

Description
This was a really easy recipe, and I wanted to see if I could make my son some Gluten-Free Snacks, these are much cheaper than buying at the grocery store. Although most corn chips are gluten-free, I just worry about the cross-contamination, so these were easy enough to fix for him, for a snack
