Ingredients
- 6 small tortillas corn or flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika optional
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
Instructions
Cut the Tortillas
- Place tortillas on a cutting board. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut them into triangles. Try to make equal sizes so they cook evenly in the air fryer.
Add Oil and Seasoning
- Put tortilla pieces into a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them. Add salt and optional spices. Mix well so each piece is lightly coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer
- Turn on the air fryer and preheat it to 180°C. This step helps the chips cook quickly and evenly.
Arrange in Basket
- Place tortilla pieces in the air fryer basket. Spread them in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Chips
- Air fry the chips for 6–8 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking. This helps all sides become crispy and golden.
Check Crispiness
- After cooking, check the chips. They should be golden and crunchy. If needed, cook for 1–2 more minutes.
Cool the Chips
- Remove the chips from the air fryer. Let them cool for a few minutes. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Serve and Enjoy
- Place chips on a plate and serve. Enjoy them with your favorite dip or salsa.
Notes
