Notes

Nachos are a flexible recipe. Feel free to use more or less chips, cheese, toppings, or sauce, as it fits your preferences.
If making this recipe in the air fryer, and you're making 6 servings, you'll need to make it in batches. The air fryer is better for making single servings.
If using ground beef, make sure to drain excess fat after browning it.
