Description

These Air Fryer Tortilla Chips are perfectly crispy, lightly salted, and made with just a few ingredients! They’re a healthier alternative to traditional fried chips and come together in minutes. Great for dipping in salsa, guac, or queso—or enjoying all on their own.


Ingredients

  • 6 small corn tortillas

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

  • Optional: pinch of chili powder, cumin, or garlic powder for extra flavor


Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Cut tortillas into triangles (like you would slice a pizza—each tortilla makes 6–8 chips).

  3. In a bowl, toss the tortilla pieces with olive oil and salt. Add any optional seasonings if using.

  4. Arrange chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches).

  5. Air fry for 5–7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  6. Let chips cool slightly—they’ll continue to crisp as they cool. Serve with your favorite dip!


Notes

  • For extra crispy chips, make sure they’re in a single layer and not overlapping.

  • You can use flour tortillas, but they cook a bit faster—check at 4–5 minutes.

  • Add lime juice before air frying for a zesty twist.
