- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped

Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef – In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning according to package instructions.
- Assemble the Nachos – In the air fryer basket, layer half of the tortilla chips, half of the cooked beef, and half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat for a second layer.
- Air Fry – Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes
- For extra crunch, preheat the air fryer before adding the nachos.
- Make it spicier by adding jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Use different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for more flavor.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day and reheated in the air fryer.
