ingredients
12 corn tortillas, cut into 8 pieces and air fried until crisp (spray with pan spray)
I air fried my own to save on points and calories, but you can use store bought chips.
1 pack trader joe’s carne asada authentica
or any brand you like
½ cup lite shredded cheese
2 – 3 limes, 2 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
avocado, sliced
cilantro for garnish
pico de gallo (recipe below)
for the pico de gallo:
3 roma tomatoes, diced
½ medium red onion, diced
2 jalapeños, finely diced, seeds removed
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 – 3 limes, or more to taste
salt, cracked black pepper and lime juice to taste
directions
Step 1:
Preheat air fryer to 400ºF. Prepare the corn tortillas by cutting each one into 8 pieces. Place in air fryer, spray with pan spray and air fry at 400ºF for about 6 - 8 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Step 2:
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.
Step 3:
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.
Step 4:
While the carne asada and chips are going, you can prepare the pico de gallo and set it aside.
Step 5:
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.
