Air Fryer Taco Bell Copycat Nacho Fries

Add your frozen crinkle-cut french fries into the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 10-14 minutes. Shake the basket serval times during the cooking process.

Then remove and place on a baking tray (I used my cast iron skillet) and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Place in either the air fryer basket or in your oven until the cheese is melted.

Sprinkle the cooked taco meat on top, add your sliced red bell peppers on top.

Garnish with your favorite toppings, scallions, jalapenos, sour cream and salsa.
