Description

Crispy and perfectly seasoned Air Fryer Tortilla Chips made from simple tortillas, lightly coated with olive oil spray and coarse salt. Ready in just 15 minutes, these homemade chips are a healthier and quick alternative to store-bought versions, delivering a satisfying crunch every time.


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-sized wedges, similar to slicing a pizza, to create the chip shapes.
  2. Prepare the chips: Lightly spray the tortilla wedges with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with coarse salt evenly on both sides.
  3. Arrange in air fryer: Place the tortilla wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't overlap to allow even crisping.
  4. First cook: Cook the chips at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Flip and season: Open the basket, carefully flip each chip, spray again with olive oil cooking spray, add more coarse salt if desired, then continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the chips are browned and crisp.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack or plate to finish crisping before serving.

Notes

  • Use either corn or flour tortillas based on your preference.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
  • Adjust salt quantity to your taste.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, or your favorite seasoning before cooking.
