Method
Method
1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F
2. Cook the fish sticks in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes or until crispy.
3. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, melt the butter and whisk in flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture starts to smell toasty.
4. Slowly add in the milk stirring constantly and bring to a low simmer. Cook stirring often until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Add in the shredded cheese a handful at a time and mix well until each is fully incorporated.
6. Season the cheese sauce with chili powder and salt to taste.
7. To assemble, on a large platter, spread out the crispy fish sticks, top with the nacho cheese sauce and garnish with chopped tomato, pickled jalapeño, green onions, and coriander (cilantro).
Optional: serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, hot sauce, or whatever other nacho toppings you have handy.
