One of the other bonuses of cooking nachos in the air fryer (besides less time and power usage) is it is generally easier to clean up, as well as prepare. I always line my drip pans with foil and use Pyrex storage containers to cook in when not using the trays. The advantage of cooking in Pyrex is that you can simply put a lid on it and store any leftovers in the refrigerator without using any additional pots or pans, or storage containers.
