Ingredients

Scale

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 pieces, similar to slicing a pizza, to create chip-sized triangles.
  2. Prepare for air frying: Lightly spray each tortilla piece with olive oil cooking spray, then sprinkle with coarse salt according to your preference. Arrange the pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
  3. Air fry first side: Cook the chips at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. This initial cooking helps start the crisping process.
  4. Flip and season: Open the basket carefully, flip each chip to the other side, lightly spray with more olive oil cooking spray, and add additional coarse salt if desired.
  5. Air fry second side: Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes at 350°F until the chips are golden brown and crisp throughout.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the tortilla chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack or plate to finish crisping up before serving.

Notes

  • Use either corn or flour tortillas based on your taste preference.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure chips cook evenly and become crispy.
  • Adjust salt quantity to your liking or add other seasonings like chili powder or garlic powder for a flavor twist.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
