Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Coarsely grate the tomatoes in a bowl, removing the skin, then grate the onion. Add olive oil, lime juice and chili powder (optional) and a pinch of salt, mix and set aside. The salsa can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   Transfer the beans to a bowl, add the Cajun or fajita seasoning and the remaining lime juice, then roughly mash with a masher. Line the air‑fryer basket with parchment baking paper. Layer half of the tortilla chips, then half of the beans and half of the cheese, then repeat the layers.

3. 3

   Cook in the air fryer at 200 °C for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese melts, turns golden and slightly browned. Using the edges of the parchment, lift the nachos onto a plate, drizzle with half of the tomato salsa and sprinkle with cilantro (optional). Serve the remaining salsa on the side.
