Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 13 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Doritos
  • 1 cup cooked chicken diced
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice
  • 3 tbsp blue cheese dressing
  • fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (if your model requires preheating).
  2. In a bowl, toss the diced cooked chicken with the 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  3. Place 4 cups of Doritos in an even layer in the bottom of the air fryer basket.
  4. Top the Doritos with the Buffalo-coated chicken, then sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Air fry at 400°F for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through; check once to ensure chips are not burning.
  6. Carefully remove the nachos from the air fryer, drizzle with 3 tablespoons blue cheese dressing, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
  • Adjust Buffalo sauce amount to control heat level.
  • Check nachos halfway through to prevent burning.
  • Serve immediately for best crispness.
