Why We Love This Air Fryer Tortilla Chips Recipe

  • It's a quick and simple recipe.
  • You only need a few basic ingredients.
  • There is no deep frying, no oil splatters, and the clean-up is a breeze.
  • Even with less amount of oil, you get crispy, crunchy delicious chips.
  • It's perfect for making small batches of tortilla chips.

Recipe Ingredients & Variations

Tortillas: You can use any kind or size. I chose 8" flour tortillas for these chips. Feel free to use yellow or white corn tortillas.

Oil: I use olive oil for this recipe. You can switch to any vegetable oil or cooking spray.

Seasoning: Homemade air fryer tortilla chips are the perfect vehicle for any spice. I used sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika. But really everything under the sun works:

  • Sumac
  • Za’atar
  • Peri-peri
  • Chili flakes
  • Garam masala
  • Red chili powder
  • Italian seasoning
  • Cumin for a smokey touch
  • Finely grated Parmesan for a cheesy flavor
  • Even simple salt and pepper

How To Make

Step 5. Cool and serve the air fryer tortilla chips!

Pro Tips

  • To make sure the tortilla chips bake evenly, don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket.
  • Allow them to cool completely before transferring to an air-tight container.
  • If the chips lose their crispiness, reheat in the air-fryer for about a minute.
  • It's easier and faster to cut the tortillas if you stack them up!

How To Store

After you air-fry tortilla chips, serve them immediately or keep them in an airtight container after they have cooled completely.

In case they lose their crispiness, just pop them back in the air-fryer for 1 minute and they'll be as good as new!

How To Serve

This is the most important bit of the air fryer tortilla chips recipe – serving. Where there are tortilla chips, there are a hundred ways to serve them.

  • You can snack on them as-is.
  • Or use them to shovel dips like this 3-ingredient gochujang mayo, creamy whipped feta, tzatziki, cashew ricotta cheese, and creamy avocado dip in your mouth.
  • Turn them into loaded air fryer nacho chips. Use tortilla chips instead of potatoes!

FAQs

How long does it take to air-fry tortilla chips?

Each batch took 4 to 5 minutes for me. It can take less or more for you.
Please remember they do become crisper as they cool.
If they’re too soft in the center, give them another 1 minute to 30 seconds in the air fryer. Just be careful not to burn them.

Can I bake tortilla chips in the oven?

Making tortilla chips in an air fryer is so much faster, but they can be made without an air fryer too. 
Spread them in a single, even layer on a tray and bake for about 10 minutes at 200 °C. You will need to flip them once during that time.
