Line the bottom of a deep air fryer basket with parchment paper, letting the parchment come up the sides. Arrange a layer of chips on the bottom. Top with half of the beef mixture and sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese over it. Spoon the green chiles over the cheese and add a second layer of chips. Sprinkle half of the beans evenly over the chips, then add the salsa and the second third of the cheese. Arrange the final layer of chips over the cheese and top with the remaining beans. Add the sliced jalapenos, the remaining cheese, and the olives.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
