Ingredients
- Tortillas (corn or flour, your preference)
- Cooking spray or olive oil
- Salt (optional: other seasonings like chili powder, garlic powder)
Instructions
1. Prep the tortillas:
Cut the tortillas into wedges. You can cut them into 6 or 8 wedges, similar to a pizza. Stacking the tortillas before cutting makes this easier.
2. Season:
- Lightly spray or brush both sides of the tortilla wedges with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Sprinkle salt on one or both sides, depending on how salty you like them. You can also add other seasonings like chili powder or garlic powder at this point.
3. Air fry:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the tortilla wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd the basket, you might need to work in batches.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, checking halfway through and flipping the chips for even browning.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
4. Cool and enjoy:
- Transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them crisp up even more.
- Once cool, enjoy your homemade air fryer tortilla chips with your favorite dip!
Tips
- For a little extra flavor, you can toss the tortilla wedges with a bit of seasoned oil before placing them in the air fryer.
- If your air fryer tends to cook unevenly, rotate the basket halfway through cooking.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
