Ingredients

  • 6 corn tortillas Each tortilla will make 6 to 8 chips depending on how you slice them.
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • cooking oil spray I like to use avocado oil or olive oil.

Instructions

  • Spray both sides of each tortilla with cooking oil (You can also spray them after they have been cut. Both methods work).
  • Lay the tortillas in 1 stack. Use a knife or pizza cutter and cut the stack in half.
  • Then rotate the stack and cut again to make 4 pieces.
  • Then you will cut down the middle again, both horizontally and vertically to form 8 total chips per layer.
  • Sprinkle salt throughout the chips. You can add any additional seasonings if you wish.
  • Load the chips into the air fryer. Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if needed. Overcrowding will lead to some chips that taste stale.
  • Air fry the chips for 6 minutes on 370 degrees. I did not flip the chips.
  • Every air fryer brand will cook at different speeds so be sure to monitor your chips. The chips have finished cooking when they are golden brown, firm, and no longer pliable and flexible. You can also sample one chip to taste.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Your chips will not cook evenly which will make it difficult to cook a batch that finishes cooking at the same time. You may end up with some chips that taste stale.
You can air fry the chips without oil. They will crisp. During my testing, I found the chips without oil lost their crunch faster.
