# How To Make:
01 - Set the air fryer to 400°F and allow it to reach temperature.

06 - Distribute cooked chicken evenly over pasta chips. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and jalapeño slices.
07 - Return the assembled nachos to the air fryer for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Top with sour cream, cilantro, diced tomato, and red onion as desired. Serve immediately.
