These air-fryer tortilla chips are a game-changer for snack lovers who want a healthier alternative. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create crunchy chips that are perfect for dipping or munching on their own.

Ideal for gatherings or a quick snack at home, these chips are made with whole grain tortillas, making them a better choice than store-bought options. Plus, they are quick to prepare and require minimal oil for that perfect crispiness!

Ingredients

  • 4 whole grain tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (360°F).
  2. Cut the tortillas into triangle shapes and place them in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the tortilla triangles and sprinkle with sea salt, chili powder, and garlic powder if using. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches.
  5. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving with salsa or guacamole.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • For maximum crispiness, ensure the tortilla pieces are in a single layer without overcrowding the air fryer.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, but they're best enjoyed fresh.
  • Experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika or nutritional yeast for added flavor.
