Air Fryer Tortilla Chips
These Air Fryer Tortilla Chips are quick, easy, and made with just a few basic ingredients. They come out crisp and light, and you can season them any way you like.
Ingredients
- 4 small tortillas
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp paprika
Instructions
- Start by stacking your tortillas and cutting them into triangles, just like classic tortilla chips. Try to keep the sizes even so they cook at the same rate.
- Place the tortilla pieces in a bowl and drizzle over the olive oil. Toss them gently until all the pieces are lightly coated. This helps them crisp up properly.
- Sprinkle over the salt and any extra seasoning you’re using. Give them another quick mix so everything is evenly distributed.
- Lay the tortilla pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t stack them too much, or they won’t cook evenly. You may need to cook in batches.
- Set the air fryer to 175°C (350°F) and cook for 5–7 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through so they cook evenly on all sides.
- Keep an eye on them near the end of the cooking time. Once they turn golden and crisp, remove them and let them cool slightly. They will firm up a bit more as they sit.
