Air Fryer Tortilla Chips


  • Author: Elena Contis

Description

These air-fried tortilla chips are quick to make, nutritious, 100% plant-based, AND budget-friendly. Plus, they’re the perfect vehicle for all your favorite dips, making them the ideal snack for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon oil of your choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: juice from 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the spices in a small bowl. 
  2. Stack the tortilla on top of one another and slice into 6 wedges. 
  3. Working in batches, place a single layer of the tortilla chips in the air fryer basket (a little overlap is ok). Use a brush to coat each side of the tortillas with the oil/spice mixture. Air fry the tortilla chips at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  4. Transfer the tortilla chips to a wire rack to cool slightly before eating. They will crisp up even more as they cool.
  5. Repeat the process for the remaining tortilla chips
  6. Serve with salsa, guacamole, vegan nacho cheese, or even use these tortilla chips as part of this sheet pan nachos recipe or burrito bowl recipe!

Notes

I personally have the air fryer lid attachment for my Instant Pot, and I love it! It's a space saver, but still crisps and fries like a traditional air fryer.
