Prepare the meat: Brown your ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess grease thoroughly. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili powder.
Assemble the base: Arrange a single layer of tortilla chips in your air fryer basket. Ensure they do not overlap too much for even crisping.
Layer the ingredients: Spoon a portion of the seasoned ground meat over the chips. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the meat layer.
Air Fry: Place the basket into the air fryer. Heat at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes. Watch for the cheese to become bubbly and golden.
Repeat and serve: You may need to work in batches depending on your air fryer’s size. Transfer the finished portions to a serving platter. Add your preferred garnishes, such as diced avocado or a drizzle of burger sauce. Serve immediately for the best experience.
