½ cup lite shredded cheese

2 - 3 limes – 2 juiced and 1 cut into wedges

pico de gallo (recipe below)
​
for the pico de gallo:

directions
-
Pre heat air fryer to 400 degrees. Prepare the corn tortillas by cutting each one into 8 pieces. Place in air fryer, spray with pan spray and air fry at 400 degrees for about 6-8 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
-
Once the chips come out, sprinkle with kosher salt.
-
you may have to do this in batches to fry all the chips depending on how big your air fryer is.
-
-
While the chips are air frying, cook up the pack of carne asada on a grill. This can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on how well done you like it cooked.
-
While the carne asada and chips are going, you can prepare the pico de gallo and set it aside.
-
Once all components are ready, start layering the nachos on a sheet pan. Start with the tortilla chips, sprinkle the shredded cheese across the chips, spread the carne asada and top with pico de gallo, lime wedges and cilantro.
