With minimal oil and endless seasoning possibilities, these air fryer tortilla chips are a healthier and tastier alternative.

Ingredients

• 6 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 tbsp olive oil (or cooking spray)
• 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• Optional seasonings: chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, lime zest, or taco seasoning

Equipment

• Air fryer
• Pizza cutter or sharp knife
• Mixing bowl

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tortillas:
Cut the tortillas into wedges (6–8 pieces per tortilla) using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

2. Season the Wedges:
In a mixing bowl, toss the tortilla wedges with olive oil to coat evenly. Sprinkle with salt and any additional seasonings you like, then toss again to distribute.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes.

4. Air Fry the Chips:
Place the tortilla wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.

5. Cool and Serve:
Remove the tortilla chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. This helps them crisp up further. Serve immediately with your favorite dip, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips

• Batch Cooking: If making a large batch, cook in batches to prevent overcrowding.
• Flavor Variations: Try sweet versions by sprinkling the chips with cinnamon sugar before air frying.
• Oil-Free Option: Skip the oil and lightly spray the tortillas with cooking spray instead.

Air fryer tortilla chips are a quick, easy, and customizable snack that you’ll love making at home. Pair them with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or queso for a perfect treat. Whether for game day or an afternoon snack, these crispy chips will disappear fast!
