- Put another layer of tortilla chips on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining taco meat, black beans, and shredded cheese on top of the second layer of tortilla chips.
- Put the basket in the air fryer and cook at 350°F for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Lift the nachos out of the air fryer basket and place them on a plate using the edges of the parchment paper. Be careful because they’ll be hot!
- Add the sour cream, jalapeños, and salsa on top and serve immediately.
