Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 small tortillas (corn or flour)
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • Coarse salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice Tortillas: Cut each tortilla into 6-8 equal triangular pieces, similar to slicing a pizza, ensuring even-sized chips.
  2. Prepare Chips: Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with coarse salt for flavor. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding any overlap to ensure even cooking.
  3. Air Fry First Side: Cook the chips in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. This initial cooking starts the crisping process and browns the chips slightly.
  4. Flip and Season: Open the air fryer basket, carefully flip each chip over, spray again with olive oil cooking spray, and add more salt if desired for extra flavor.
  5. Air Fry Second Side: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the basket and allow them to cool completely; this helps them finish crisping up before serving.

Notes

  • Use either corn or flour tortillas based on your preference for flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the chips are arranged in a single layer to prevent sogginess.
  • Adjust seasoning after the first air fry cycle for perfect saltiness.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • For a spicy twist, sprinkle with chili powder or paprika before air frying.
