Spread out chips in the fryer basket in a single layer, slightly overlapping chips, so the cheese doesn't melt through. Lightly dust chips with taco seasoning to get a pop of taco flavor, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Don't overcrowd the basket.

Top cheese with olives and tomatoes and place basket in the air fryer.

Sfogliatelle Ricce
This delicious pastry, sometimes called lobster tail pastry, was originally prepared only for the aristocratic Renaissance set in Italy. I searched high and low for a recipe, but there are only a few online in English, and those assume you know quite a bit about baking, or they were just wrong. It's a challenging recipe that requires a lot of time and some special techniques, but I've tried to simplify the process. Don't be upset if you don't get it right the first time. Note: The dough is a formula, so the ingredient measures are weights. This matters! The rest is less critical, so I used volumes.
Wet Burrito
This is a recipe for wet burritos baked in a casserole dish with meat and beans in the traditional West Michigan style!
