What do you get when you cross a chili dog with a chalupa? You get Frito Pie, the ultimate Tex-Mex comfort food! This dish is made by layering Fritos with chili and cheese, and it's perfect for feeding a crowd. And thanks to your air fryer, this dish can be cooked up in no time!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • Add about 1/4 cup of the filling to an oven-safe casserole dish, and set into the air fryer. Set the temperature to 330 degrees F, air fryer setting, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the casserole is warmed through. Add two tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese on top, and return to the air fryer. Set the temperature to 300 degrees F, air fryer setting, and cook for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings.
