Air Fryer Plate Nachos are a great option for a quick weeknight dinner that can easily feed a crowd!
If you are ready for a great air fryer recipe, these Air Fryer Plate Nachos are the perfect choice. I have to say that these were pretty fabulous especially on a busy weeknight.
I added all the nachos and toppings to the air fryer, and then simply air fried them for a few minutes to make them warm and toasty.
Once they were done, we put them on the counter and everyone dug in!
Sometimes I just need meals like this that everyone helps themselves to. Don’t you? It’s especially nice this week as we head into summer.
Our evenings become long and we stay up for a while just spending time outside. I love that I can take a plate of these air fryer plate nachos and place them in the center of the patio table and everyone can help themselves.
That means the kids can play, take a break, eat a bite, and go back to playing. My husband and I can sit and talk, which is much needed after long days with the kids.
I need adult conversation too, and I’m okay with admitting that. It’s nice to talk to him and especially in the evenings as the sun is setting.
It’s just so much cooler here in Oklahoma in the evenings and actually doable to go outside and enjoy the fresh air.

Comments & Reviews
What chips do you reccomend? any tortilla chip?
We like to use Tostitos tortilla chips for these, the rounds work well too if you want smaller chips.
Or, you could use Ricos tortilla chips, like the recipe page she took this from…as a San Antonian, I think the original, San Antonio made chips will work best with this unoriginal recipe.

Hi Eric, while I appreciate your comment, I wrote this recipe for Rico’s, so that recipe you are linking to is my recipe, my images that I let them use for their website.
If you scroll down on the recipe you linked to it says this:
“Recipe & Images submitted by Kristy Still Blogger Kristy Still”…that would be me.
Hahaha! Beautiful!
She legit just punked you. Man to be blatantly called out and proven so wrong after you were a condescending jerk. If you dont feel stupid you absolutely should.
does the chicken have to be cooked before going in with the nachos?
Yes, it is cooked.
What kind of queso did y’all use? I’ve been looking for a great Mexican white queso and haven’t found one!
We use Rico’s for these and it was really good! I also like to buy queso from our local restaurant near us and use it for our own nachos.
I want to use fresh corn tortillas to make the chips. Cut them into chips.
How do I crisp up the chips before adding the other ingredients?
They are very easy to make from scratch on the chips – I would make the chips like this – https://www.yellowblissroad.com/air-fryer-tortilla-chips/. Then once the chips are crisp, you can add the toppings for the nachos.
Thank you so much for the website to find that simple recipe for homemade chips. Very helpful. I just invested in the Ninja Foodi Deluxe. Can’t wait to try it out.
I tried it and love this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. It is a keeper. Nothing like finding a great recipe.
