4.2 from 5 reviews

Crispy, homemade air fryer tortilla chips that are quick and easy to make, perfect for snacking or pairing with your favorite dips.

  • Total Time: 11 minutes
  • Yield: 36 chips

Ingredients

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Slice the tortillas: Cut each tortilla into 6 to 8 equal pieces, similar to slicing a pizza, to form chip-sized portions.
  2. Prepare the chips: Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle coarse salt over them evenly. Arrange the chips in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
  3. Air fry the chips: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. Then open the basket, carefully flip each chip, spray again with olive oil, add additional salt if desired, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the chips are golden brown and crisp.
  4. Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the basket and allow them to cool on a plate to finish crisping before serving.

Notes

  • Use either corn or flour tortillas depending on your preference; corn tortillas provide a more traditional chip flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping of all chips.
  • Adjust the salt amount to your taste; you can also experiment with other seasonings like chili powder or garlic powder for variety.
  • Letting the chips cool after cooking helps them become crispier.
