Air fryer nachos come together with tortillas, pulled pork, and all the Mexican-inspired toppings your family loves. Air Fryer Pulled Pork Nachos are made with baked flour tortilla chips, which are lower in fat than fried chips.

We adore our air fryer, especially for making easy and quick weeknight meals that include pulled pork, shredded chicken, and even roast beef dishes.

Howdy! Chef Alli Here. Let’s Get You Cookin’….Shall We? ?

I am thankful that this family of mine loves all things MEXICAN FOOD.

And, to prove it, I’ve got lots of Mexican-inspired recipes right here on my blog so I can keep them handy. Everything from Beef and Cheese Mexican Sanchiladas (which are sanchos crossed with enchiladas in case you’re wondering), to the Chunky Chicken Burrito Skillet, to Tex Mex Corn Chowder….just to list a very few.

On weekends, I like to cook a pork butt in my Instant Pot so that we have pulled pork to use for the upcoming week’s meals. Meals like Pulled Pork Oven Quesadillas or Mason jar Pulled Pork Parfaits that are quick and easy to throw together because the pork is already cooked.

Because the shredded pork for this recipe is already fully cooked, you can make these Air Fryer Pulled Pork Nachos is just minutes.

What to Love About This Recipe –

You get to make a big ole pork butt so you’ve got lots of shredded, cooked pork on hand for many meals!
This is a great meal for family weeknights, and also fun to make for guests on the weekend.

3. Because you can make the nachos so quickly, you can easily make several fast rounds if you have more than just a couple of eaters.

Which Type of Air Fryer is the Best One?

All I can say about that is we have the Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Convection Oven and we use the darn thing ALL. THE. TIME.

I have been shocked at how much we use it for making speedy meals and for reheating leftovers.

One of the best things? The air fryer makes leftover pizza like brand new again – crispy and wonderful, just like fresh baked from the pizza joint delivery. I’ve even made a deep-dish quiche in our air fryer before!

Recipe Tips and Trick to Make Easy Pulled Pork Nachos in Your Air Fryer

When making the tortilla chips in the air fryer, make sure they are in a single layer and not touching so they can get crispy and golden brown on both sides.
You can use any cooked and shredded (or chopped) meat to make these nachos – pork, chicken, beef, etc.
These nachos are delicious with or without the cheese queso as an ingredient.
If you don’t want to take the time to make the baked chips from the flour tortillas, you can use bagged tortilla chips instead.
The flour tortillas make great baked chips for nachos because they are stronger than fried chips, so it makes the nachos easier to lift and eat.
