Ingredients
- 4 yellow corn tortillas
- Coarse salt, to taste
- Cooking spray (avocado oil or olive oil spray recommended)
Instructions
- Slice the tortillas: Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges, similar to slicing a pizza, resulting in a total of 24 tortilla chip pieces.
- Load up the air fryer: Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring the pieces do not overlap for even cooking. Typically, about 9 pieces fit at once depending on your air fryer size.
- Spritz and season: Lightly spray the tortilla wedges with your preferred cooking oil, such as avocado or olive oil spray. Sprinkle coarse salt over the chips to your desired taste.
- Preheat the air fryer: Run the air fryer empty for 1 to 2 minutes to preheat it, which helps achieve a more uniform crispiness on the chips.
- Air fry: Cook the chips at 300°F (approximately 150°C) for 8 minutes or until they become crisp and just start to brown at the edges. Repeat the process in batches until all the chips are cooked. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch!
Notes
- Do not overlap the tortilla chips in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Use a light cooking oil spray to keep the chips crispy without adding excess oil.
- Season with coarse salt to taste just before air frying for best flavor.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if your air fryer runs hot or cold.
- Best served fresh to maintain crispiness, but leftover chips can be stored in an airtight container.
