Ingredients
- 6 small tortillas corn or flour
- olive oil cooking spray as needed
- coarse salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Using a sharp knife or a sharp pizza cutter, slice each tortilla into 4 equal pieces. The tortilla triangles should resemble pizza slices.
- Lightly spray each cut tortilla on both sides with olive oil cooking spray. You can also use a pastry brush to brush them with a little oil. Sprinkle the corn tortilla chip pieces with coarse salt.
- Arrange the tortilla slices in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are in a single layer and cook them in batches at 400°F for a cooking time of 4-7 minutes. Halfway through the cooking, open the air fryer basket, flip the chips, and add more salt if you like. Continue cooking them until the chips are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the homemade chips from the air fryer basket and allow them to cool on a wire rack for 1-2 minutes to achieve a crisp finish. Enjoy these crispy chips with tortilla soup, pico de gallo, grocery store, or homemade salsa, or any of your favorite dips.

Notes
- Small Tortillas (Corn or Flour): The choice between corn and flour tortillas is totally up to you. Corn tortillas have a slightly nutty flavor and a firmer texture, while flour tortillas tend to have a softer bite. Corn tortillas or flour can be substituted with whole wheat or multigrain corn tortillas as well as spinach-flavored flour tortillas. I used corn tortillas for this air-fried tortilla chips recipe.
- Olive Oil Cooking Spray: Using a little bit of oil or cooking spray helps promotecrispiness during the air frying process. You can also use canola oil or avocado oilsprays on your flour or yellow corn tortillas.
- Coarse Salt: Coarse salt not only enhances the natural flavors of these easy air fryer tortilla chips but also contributes to their overall texture. I used kosher salt, but you can use sea salt or Himalayan salt. If you like spicy chips, a sprinkle of different seasonings like chili powder or cayenne pepper will give your crispy tortilla chips a spicy kick.
