Crispy Air Fryer Tortilla Chips Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by preheating the air fryer and preparing the tortillas with cooking spray and salt on both sides. The tortillas are sliced into small triangular pieces and placed in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Flipping the chips partway cooks them evenly, enhancing crispiness and golden color around the edges without burning.
These chips turn crisp as they cool, making them suitable for dipping or snacking. The straightforward process and minimal ingredients highlight the freshness of homemade chips compared to store-bought versions.
The recipe advises monitoring the chips closely since cooking times vary by air fryer model. Leftover chips that lose crispness can be reheated briefly in the air fryer to restore crunchiness, extending their usability.
Ingredients
- 6 tortilla corn or flour (6-inch, small
- cooking spray
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat you air fryer by setting the temperature to 350ºF. (It usually takes about 3 minutes to preheat an air fryer.)
- Spray your tortillas with cooking spray on each side, and season with salt to taste.
- Place 6 tortillas in a stack and cut them in half. Then cut each half into 3 small triangles (see the photos in the post).
- When the air fryer is ready, take the basket out. Spread the tortilla pieces in the basket in a single layer, overlapping as little as possible. (You will need to cook in batches. I was able to fit 9 pieces into the basket each time.)
- Put back the basket, and set the timer for 5 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, take out the basket and gently stir and flip the chips.
- Return the basket to the air fryer and cook 2 more minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Season with salt once more if necessary.
- Let the tortilla chips to cool before serving. They will become crispier and crunchier as they cool down.
Notes
- Watch the chips closely during cooking to avoid burning; chips are done when edges are golden brown.
- If chips lose crispness, reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to restore crunchiness.
