Ingredients
- 6 small corn or flour tortillas
- Olive oil spray or any cooking spray
- Coarse salt to taste
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, or cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Slice the Tortillas:
- Cut the tortillas into 6 to 8 wedges, depending on the size of your tortillas. You can use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife for easy slicing.
- Season the Tortilla Wedges:
- Lightly spray the tortilla wedges with olive oil. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Feel free to add extra seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder for more flavor.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, depending on your air fryer model.
- Cook the Chips:
- Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. Open the basket, flip the chips, and spray them again with olive oil. Add more salt if desired. Air fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve:
- Once cooked, let the chips cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve with salsa, guacamole, cheese sauce, or enjoy them as a snack on their own.
Notes
- Tortilla Type: Corn tortillas will result in crispier chips, but flour tortillas are a good alternative if you prefer them.
- Seasoning Variations: Customize the seasoning to your liking by adding chili powder, cumin, paprika, or even sweet cinnamon sugar for a unique twist.
- Air Fryer Models: Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model. Keep an eye on the chips as they cook to avoid burning.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they lose their crispness, reheat them in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
