Ingredients
- 2 large, ripe, firm tomatoes
- 1 small red onion , peeled
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ½ lime , juiced (save the other ½ for the nachos)
- pinch of chilli powder (optional)
- 400g can black beans , drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp Cajun-style or fajita seasoning
- ½ lime , juiced
- 200g salted tortilla chips
- 75g mature cheddar , grated
- 100g grated mozzarella or whole mozzarella, torn
- small handful of coriander , roughly chopped (optional)
Method
For the salsa, coarsely grate the tomatoes into a bowl, discarding any skin left behind, then grate in the onion. Stir in the olive oil, lime juice and chilli powder, if using, and a pinch of salt, then set aside. Can be made a day ahead and chilled.
Tip the beans into a bowl with the Cajun seasoning and the rest of the lime juice, then use a potato masher to roughly mash. Line the air fryer basket with baking parchment. Layer in half the tortilla chips, half the beans and half the cheese, then repeat to make a second layer.
Air-fry at 200C for 8-10 mins, or until the cheese is melted, golden and bubbling. Use the sides of the parchment to lift the nachos onto a platter, then spoon over half the tomato salsa and scatter over the coriander, if using. Serve with the rest of the salsa on the side.
