Equipment
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. Spread an even layer of tortilla chips.
- Layer: Top with half the cheese, then the chicken, then the rest of the cheese.
- Air Fry: Cook at 350 °F for 4–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top & Serve: Carefully lift the parchment out, then finish with pico de gallo, avocado chunks, and any extras like cilantro or lime juice.
Notes
- Use thicker tortilla chips so they don’t get soggy under the toppings.
- Swap in rotisserie chicken for ultra-fast prep.
- Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- For extra crunch, layer in roasted corn or black beans before air frying.
- Always add fresh toppings after cooking so they keep their texture.
