Ingredients:
- 10 tortillas, cut into 6 triangle pieces each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions:
Prep the Tortillas:
- Cut each tortilla into 6 triangles.
Season the Chips:
- In a large bowl, toss the tortilla triangles with oil, salt, and chili powder until evenly coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 370°F (190°C).
Arrange the Chips:
- Place 10–12 tortilla triangles in the air fryer basket, minimizing overlap for even cooking.
Cook:
- Air fry for 4 minutes at 370°F. At the 2-minute mark, pause to flip or rearrange the chips to ensure even frying.
Cool the Chips:
- Once cooked, transfer the chips to a plate lined with a paper towel. Let them cool for 5–10 minutes to achieve a perfectly crunchy texture.
Serve:
- Enjoy with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or dip!
NOTES:
- The chips may shift around in the air fryer basket due to airflow. Rearranging them halfway through cooking helps ensure even crisping.
- Chips will harden as they cool, creating a satisfying crunch. For warm chips, reheat briefly in the air fryer or oven as needed.
