Ingredients
- 6 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or light cooking spray
- Sea salt to taste
- Optional Flavors:
- Paprika or chili powder for smoky flavor
- Garlic powder for a savory twist
- Lime juice or zest for a tangy finish
- Cinnamon and sugar for a sweet version
Instructions
- Cut Tortillas:
- Stack tortillas and cut each into 6–8 even wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Lightly Oil:
- Brush or spray both sides with olive oil — just enough to help them crisp up.
- Season:
- Sprinkle salt evenly on both sides. Add any spices or seasonings you like.
- Air Fry:
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange tortilla wedges in a single layer.
- Air fry for 5–7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let chips cool for a few minutes — they’ll crisp up even more as they cool. Enjoy with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dip!
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer — air circulation equals crispiness.
- Flip or shake chips halfway through for even browning.
- Cool completely before storing to maintain crunch.
- Re-crisp soft chips by reheating in the air fryer for 1–2 minutes.
- Try both corn and flour tortillas — each gives a unique texture.
