Air Fryer Tortilla Chips Recipe

Making your own tortilla chips at home is quick, easy, and healthier when using an air fryer. These crispy, golden chips are perfect for dipping or snacking anytime.

Ingredients

• 6 small tortillas (corn or flour)
• Olive oil cooking spray
• Coarse salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Slice your tortillas into 6-8 equal pieces, similar to cutting a pizza.
2. Step 2: Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with coarse salt.
3. Step 3: Arrange the pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
4. Step 4: Cook at 350°F for 3 minutes. Open the basket, flip the chips, spray lightly again, add more salt if desired, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned and crisp.

Tips & Variations

• Use corn tortillas for a traditional chip flavor or flour tortillas for a milder taste.
• Try adding a sprinkle of chili powder, paprika, or garlic powder before cooking for extra flavor.
• If your air fryer basket is small, cook the chips in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Storage

Store cooled tortilla chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To re-crisp, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 1-2 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas?

Yes, both corn and flour tortillas work well. Corn tortillas yield a more traditional chip flavor, while flour tortillas produce a softer, lighter chip.

How do I prevent the chips from becoming soggy?

Make sure to arrange the chips in a single layer without overlapping in the air fryer basket. Letting chips cool completely after cooking helps them crisp up further.
