Sunshine Protein Nachos ☀️
Enjoy a guilt-free and protein-packed snack or meal with these quick and easy air fryer nachos!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 bag Nacho Cheese Quest chips
- 100 grams cooked lean ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning (about 3.5 oz)
- 30 grams shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 oz)
- 10 slices pickled jalapeño
- 0.5 small Roma tomato diced
- 0.25 avocado diced (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 0.25 cup salsa for dipping
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt for dipping
Instructions
- Brown your lean ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water, simmering until the flavors blend and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Arrange the Quest chips in a single, even layer in an air fryer-safe dish or a foil tray. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.
- Spoon the flavorful seasoned ground beef evenly over the chips, making sure every chip gets some.
- Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and tangy pickled jalapeño slices across the top.
- Air fry at 375°F for just 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly, and the chip edges start to crisp up.
- Carefully remove the nachos from the air fryer. Top with fresh diced tomatoes and creamy avocado, if you're using it.
- Serve these healthy nachos immediately with a side of cool Greek yogurt (your high-protein swap for sour cream!) and vibrant salsa for dipping. Enjoy your guilt-free summer treat!
