Ingredients:

  • 10-12 Corn Tortillas (white or yellow)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp Chili Powder (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Stack the tortillas and slice them into wedges (usually 6 or 8 triangles per tortilla).
  2. Transfer the wedges to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle lightly with the oil and toss gently until evenly coated. Do not drown them.
  3. Sprinkle evenly with salt and chili powder, if using. Toss once more to distribute the seasoning.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes, if your model requires preheating.
  5. Load the seasoned chips into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overlap or overcrowd; you will need to cook in batches for maximum crispness.
  6. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 12 minutes total.
  7. Shake the basket vigorously every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and browning.
  8. Chips are done when they are visibly golden brown and feel rigid. Remove immediately and transfer to a cooling rack or paper towel-lined plate. They crisp up further as they cool. Repeat with remaining batches.
