Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crisping of the chips.
- Cooking time varies by batch size and air fryer model; monitor chips closely especially during the last minutes to prevent burning.
- Flour tortillas cook faster and produce chewier chips but are a viable alternative to corn tortillas.
