About This Recipe

The BEST crispy air fryer tortilla chips! Easy to make, absolutely delicious, and use barely any oil to make restaurant-style homemade tortilla chips! They come out crispy and are so much better for you than your typical deep-fried store-bought versions.

Ingredients

  • 6 6-inch corn tortillas
  • avocado oil spray, for coating* ((optional))
  • sea salt

Instructions

  1. Pile a few (I do 3) tortillas on top of each other on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut them in half lengthwise. This will give you 2 equal halves. Then, keeping them in a pile, continue to cut one of the halves into 3 equal-sized triangles. Repeat with the other half and remaining tortillas. See the pictures above for reference.
  2. Carefully arrange half your cut tortillas in your air fryer basket so you can allow for even airflow. I like to kind of stack them in different ways. You might have to cook your tortilla chips in a couple of batches. The less you have in there, the crispier they will get in a shorter amount of time. Two batches are enough for most air fryers.
  3. Close the drawer and set at 400 degrees for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, open up the drawer and move the chips around. Arrange the chips again to make sure air can evenly flow through them. Then cook for another 2-3 minutes. I find 7 minutes is the sweet spot, but it will depend on how you like your chips. You will hear them jump around some as they are close to being done.
  4. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, serve with your favorite dip, and enjoy!
