Servings: 24 chips

Ingredients

  • 4 yellow corn tortillas
  • Coarse salt
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Slice the tortillas: Cut four corn tortillas into 6 wedges each — like you’re slicing a little tortilla pizza. You’ll end up with 24 chips total.
  • Load up the air fryer: Place as many tortilla pieces as you can in a single layer in your air fryer basket. No overlapping! I can usually fit about 9 at a time, but your air fryer might hold more or less depending on its shape.
  • Spritz and season: Give the tortillas a light spray with cooking oil (avocado or olive oil spray both work great), then sprinkle with coarse salt. No need to measure — just season to your taste.
  • Preheat the air fryer: Preheat by running your air fryer for a minute or two. It helps the chips cook more evenly and crisp up nicely.
  • Air fry: Cook the chips at 300°F for 8 minutes. They should be crisp and just golden around the edges. Keep going in batches until they’re all done — and try not to eat them all straight from the basket.
