Description
These Air Fryer Tortilla Chips are crispy, golden, and ready in minutes. Made from simple pantry staples, they offer a healthier alternative to deep-fried chips and pair perfectly with salsa, guacamole, queso, or hummus.
Ingredients
Tortilla Chips
- 6 small corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for crispy chips.
- Cut the Tortillas: Stack the tortillas and slice each into 6 equal wedges to create chip-sized pieces.
- Season the Wedges: Toss the tortilla wedges with olive oil, sea salt, and optional chili powder and garlic powder to coat evenly.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the tortilla wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding for even crisping.
- Air Fry the Chips: Cook for 6–8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all sides crisp evenly until they are lightly golden.
- Cool Before Serving: Let the chips cool for a few minutes so they become extra crispy before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model to avoid burning or undercooking.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
