Air fryer tortilla chips are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried tortilla chips. They are made using corn tortillas and cooked in an air fryer, which requires little to no oil. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer tortilla chips:
Ingredients:
- Corn tortillas
- Cooking spray (optional)
- Salt or your preferred seasonings
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
- Stack the corn tortillas on a cutting board and use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut them into desired chip shapes. Triangles or strips work well.
- If you prefer a slightly crispy texture, lightly spray both sides of the tortilla chips with cooking spray. This step is optional but can help with browning.
- Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in multiple batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the tortilla chips in the air fryer for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the tortillas and the air fryer model.
- Once the chips are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt or your preferred seasonings. You can get creative and add flavors like chili powder, garlic powder, or even lime juice for a tangy twist.
- Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
Enjoy your homemade air fryer tortilla chips with your favorite dips, such as salsa, guacamole, or queso dip. They are also great on their own as a crunchy snack. Remember to adjust the cooking time and temperature according to your specific air fryer model and personal preferences.
