Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. Prepare the potato sticks according to the package instructions, then toss them with 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning and a generous pinch of salt. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the pickled onion by finely chopping the red onion and mixing it with lime juice and sugar in a small non‑metallic bowl. Season with a small pinch of salt and refrigerate to marinate slightly.

3. 3

   Place all the guacamole ingredients in a medium bowl. Lightly mash them with a fork and season. Set aside. Transfer the canned beans to a small saucepan, add 1 tsp Cajun seasoning, garlic and a pinch of black pepper. Cook 3‑4 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through.

4. 4

   Line the air fryer basket with foil so it rises on the sides (this makes it easier to remove the potatoes later). Spread the potatoes on the foil, then add the beans and cheese. Cook 3‑4 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden. Carefully transfer to a large serving plate.

5. 5

   Spoon some guacamole onto the plate and serve the rest separately, together with the pickled onion. Sprinkle extra coriander and chili flakes if desired.
