Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C

  • Spread triangles out and spray both sides with either cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Place some of the tortilla chips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, and air fry for 6-8 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking time.
  • Transfer to a wire rack so they crisp up as they cool.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on them near the end of the cooking time as they go from golden to burn very quickly.
  • Also note, these crisp up as they cool down, so don't try and overcook them if they seem a little soft at the end of cook time.
  • If you prefer round Air Fryer Tortilla Chips, then use a cookie cutter to cut out circles.
  • You can use a pizza cutter instead of a knife if you prefer.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer, lay chips in the air fryer basket in a single layer so that the air circulates around the chips. You will need to air fry them in batches.
  • Use long tongs to carefully turn your air fried tortilla chips over halfway through cooking.
  • You can absolutely make this with your favorite low carb tortillas.
  • Flour tortillas can be used, but the cooking time will be different.
  • Air Fryer temperatures vary depending on the make and model, so use the cooking times listed as a guide, check for doneness and adjust as needed.
  • Make some amazing Air Fryer Nachos by topping them with salsa, seasoned black beans, and melted cheese. #somuchyum
  • Storage - keep chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days.
