Tips:

  • Use the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the best choice for air fryer tortilla chips. They're thinner and crispier than flour tortillas, and they hold up better in the air fryer.
  • Cut the tortillas into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a tortilla cutter to cut the tortillas into wedges or strips.
  • Season the tortilla chips: You can use any seasonings you like, but salt, pepper, and chili powder are a classic combination. You can also add garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin. Be sure to toss the tortilla chips with the seasonings before you cook them so that they're evenly coated.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: If you overcrowd the air fryer, the tortilla chips won't cook evenly. Cook the tortilla chips in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the tortilla chips until they're crispy: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the tortilla chips and the temperature of your air fryer. Cook the tortilla chips until they're golden brown and crispy.

Conclusion:

Air fryer tortilla chips are a quick and easy snack or party appetizer. They're also a healthier alternative to store-bought tortilla chips. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can make delicious air fryer tortilla chips that the whole family will love.
