Description
Crispy homemade tortilla chips made quickly and easily using an air fryer. Perfectly seasoned with kosher salt and made from fresh corn tortillas, these chips are a healthier alternative to store-bought fried chips and ready in just a few minutes.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 5 small corn tortillas (taco size)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for crisping the chips.
- Cut tortillas: Cut each of the 5 small corn tortillas into quarters, creating 20 chip-sized pieces.
- Season the chips: Lightly spray both sides of each tortilla quarter with non-stick cooking spray. Then sprinkle kosher salt evenly over both sides to taste.
- Air fry the chips: Arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry for approximately 3 minutes, or until the chips turn lightly browned and crispy. Adjust timing slightly based on air fryer model and your preferred chip doneness.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the chips halfway through the air frying process if your air fryer doesn't circulate air evenly.
- Season with additional spices like chili powder, cumin, or paprika for a flavored chip variation.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
- Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded for best results.
