Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 small corn tortillas, cut into wedges
  • Olive oil spray
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or light sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges
  • 2 tbsp fresh salsa (such as pico de gallo)

Instructions

  1. Stack the 6 small corn tortillas and cut them into quarters to make 24 wedges. Lightly mist both sides with olive oil spray and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Lay the wedges in a single layer on a small tray or directly in your air fryer basket (line with parchment if desired).
  2. Air fry the chips at 350°F (175°C) for 6-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Chips should be golden and crisp, but not dark brown. If still soft, air fry for another 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  3. While the chips cook, dice the red bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Rinse and drain the black beans. (Optional: Mix beans with a pinch of cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.)
  4. Carefully arrange the air-fried chips on your tray. Scatter the black beans evenly, then sprinkle over the diced pepper, onion, tomatoes, and sliced jalapeño. Top with the shredded cheese.
  5. Return the tray to the air fryer and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes, just until cheese is bubbly and everything is heated through.
  6. Slide the nachos onto a serving plate. Dollop Greek yogurt or light sour cream on top, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and add fresh lime wedges and salsa. Serve immediately.

Notes

For vegan nachos, use plant-based cheese and coconut yogurt. Don’t overload chips with wet toppings to keep them crisp. Serve immediately for best texture. You can bake chips in the oven at 400°F for 8-10 minutes if you don’t have an air fryer. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free corn tortillas.
