A dark gray bowl filled with crispy, golden Air Fryer Tortilla Chips, with some scattered on a dark slate surface.

Air Fryer Tortilla Chips

Rebecca Blumer
Whip up a batch of irresistibly crispy tortilla chips right in your air fryer in just 10 minutes. Using only tortillas, oil, and salt, you get a golden, crunchy snack that's far better than store-bought and so much easier than deep frying.

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Pizza Cutter

Ingredients
 

  • 6 small tortillas (corn or flour)
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • coarse salt

Instructions
 

  • Cut the tortillas into 6 to 8 wedges each, keeping the pieces as even as possible.
  • Coat the wedges lightly with olive oil cooking spray, sprinkle with coarse salt, and place them in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
  • Air fry at 350 °F for 3 minutes, then open the basket, turn the chips over, spray again, and add more salt if desired before cooking 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Transfer the chips out of the basket and let them cool before serving.

Notes

Cooking Tip: For the best crunch, arrange the tortilla wedges in a single, even layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding, which can make the chips soggy.
Texture Tip: The chips may feel slightly soft right out of the air fryer, but they will become perfectly crisp as they cool down.
Storage: Allow the chips to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Reheating: To revive any lost crispness, simply reheat the chips in the air fryer at 350°F for 1-2 minutes.
