Notes
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in small batches for the best air fryer tortilla chips.
Cut your tortillas into even-sized pieces to ensure consistent cooking.
Flipping the chips halfway helps them cook evenly and become uniformly crispy.
Keep an eye on your chips, especially during the last few minutes, as air fryers vary and they can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
Chips become extra crispy as they cool. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Store your homemade air fryer tortilla chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
If chips lose some crispness, reheat them in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 2-3 minutes to revive their crunchy glory.
