5. Sprinkle the seasoned beef evenly over the chips.
6. Add a generous layer of shredded cheese on top.

# # # ⏱️ Air Fryer Settings
**Temperature:** 350°F / 175°C
**Cooking Time:** 3–5 minutes
**Preheat:** 2–3 minutes
**Check:** Start checking at 3 minutes to prevent the chips from over-browning.
💡 **Pro Tip:** Don't overload the chips with toppings. For extra-crispy nachos, use a single layer of chips and add the fresh toppings after air frying.
🔥 **Crispy chips + seasoned beef + melty cheese + fresh toppings = the ultimate loaded nachos!**
**Would you add extra jalapeños to these? 🌶️😍**
