Crispy and golden Air Fryer Tortilla Chips are a quick and easy homemade snack. Made from simple corn tortillas, these chips are lightly coated with avocado oil spray and sprinkled with flaky sea salt for the perfect crunch and flavor. Ideal for dipping in salsa, guacamole, or enjoying on their own, this recipe uses the air fryer for a healthier alternative to traditional fried chips.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 corn tortillas, 6-inch
  • Avocado oil spray, for coating
  • Flaky sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Cut tortillas: Slice each 6-inch corn tortilla into 6 or 8 triangle-shaped chips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter for uniform pieces.
  3. Coat with oil: Lightly spray the tortilla chips with avocado oil spray on both sides to help them crisp up without excess fat.
  4. Season the chips: Sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly over the chips according to your taste preferences for enhanced flavor.
  5. Arrange in air fryer: Place the tortilla chips in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Air fry the chips: Cook for 6 to 8 minutes at 350°F, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all chips crisp up uniformly without burning.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly to become extra crispy before serving with your favorite dips like salsa or guacamole.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle chili powder or cumin before air frying.
  • Storage: Keep chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crispiness.
  • If you prefer thicker chips, cut tortillas into fewer pieces.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
