Scale
Ingredients
- 6 small tortillas (corn or flour)
- Olive oil cooking spray (as needed)
- Coarse salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to ensure it’s ready for cooking the chips evenly and quickly.
- Slice Tortillas: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice each tortilla into 4 equal triangular pieces that resemble pizza slices.
- Oil and Season: Lightly spray both sides of each tortilla triangle with olive oil cooking spray. Alternatively, you can brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle the chips with coarse salt to taste.
- Arrange and Air Fry: Place the tortilla slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F for 4-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Add more salt if desired after flipping. Continue cooking until golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove chips from the air fryer and place them on a wire rack to cool for 1-2 minutes to achieve maximum crispiness. Serve with tortilla soup, pico de gallo, salsa, or your favorite dips.
Notes
- For the crispiest chips, make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even air circulation.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the thickness of your tortillas and your preferred level of crispiness.
- Use corn tortillas for a more traditional chip flavor; flour tortillas will yield a different texture and taste.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Feel free to experiment with seasoning by adding chili powder, garlic powder, or cumin along with salt.
