These air fryer tortilla chips are the crunchy, golden snack you didn’t know you could make at home in under 10 minutes. They’re a healthier twist on classic fried chips—using just a light spray of oil and your air fryer.

Ingredients
- 10 Tortillas
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil I use cooking spray.
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a basket-style air fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Cut your tortillas into 6–8 triangle wedges.
- Spray or brush lightly with oil and season with salt.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then shake the basket or flip pieces with tongs.
- Cook 2–3 minutes more until golden and crispy.
In an oven-style air fryer:
- Preheat to 350°F.
- Place oiled and salted tortilla wedges in a single layer.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove and sprinkle with salt or seasoning of choice.
Notes
- What can I use as an alternative to cooking spray? A pastry brush would work great here. If you are brushing oil on the corn tortilla, oil first and then cut. It will be easier.
- How can I store them? After they have cooled down, store them in an airtight container in a dark, cool place.
- How long will they last? They last up to 3 days in the pantry. But they are so easy to make that I recommend making them every time you crave some chips and salsa.
- Batch tip: Double or triple the recipe, but cook in batches to keep chips crunchy.
- Serving ideas: Perfect with salsa, guacamole, nachos, or as a base for chilaquiles.
