Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 package frozen Old El Paso Stuffed Nachos

Instructions

  • Remove the air fryer basket and use scissors to open the package of frozen Old El Paso Stuffed Nachos. No need to defrost!
  • Place the stuffed nachos directly into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Insert the basket into the air fryer and set the temperature to 370°F.
  • Cook for 8 minutes.
  • Check the nachos to ensure they are crispy and golden brown.
  • Test one to ensure the filling is hot and perfectly cooked. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Once done, use a spatula to carefully remove the nachos from the air fryer basket and transfer them to a plate.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-and-spicy-on-the-inside snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the basket.
  • If reheating, cook for 2-3 minutes at the same temperature.
  • Great for dipping in salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
