Crispy Air Fryer Tortilla Chips

Experience the delightful crunch of homemade tortilla chips that are not only crispy and flavorful but also a healthier alternative to store-bought versions. These air fryer tortilla chips are perfect for snacking or dipping into your favorite salsas and guacamole. With a hint of salt and a touch of olive oil, they are a testament to the simple joys of home cooking. Tortilla chips have their origins in Mexico, where they were first made by frying or baking tortillas into crispy, bite-sized pieces, and they have since become a beloved snack worldwide.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Corn tortillas
10 (6-inch size)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
1 teaspoon (or to taste)
Optional toppings
as desired (e.g., salsa, guacamole, sour cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles, ensuring uniform sizes for even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the tortilla triangles with olive oil and salt, making sure each piece is well-coated.
  4. Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper crisping.
  5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, checking halfway through and shaking the basket to promote even browning, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes to enhance their crunch.
  7. Serve the tortilla chips warm with your favorite toppings like fresh salsa, creamy guacamole, or tangy sour cream.
  8. Enjoy your homemade crispy tortilla chips as a snack or appetizer at your next gathering!

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider sprinkling the chips with spices like chili powder, garlic powder, or smoked paprika before air frying.
  • 💡 Experiment with different types of tortillas, such as whole wheat or flavored tortillas, for a unique twist.
  • 💡 If you prefer thicker chips, cut the tortillas into fewer triangles or use larger tortillas.
