If you own an Air Fryer then you already know how amazing it is. But did you know you can make your very own Homemade Tortilla Chips in it?
This isn't so much a recipe in the traditional way. It is more about the method used to transform corn tortillas into chips! Delicious homemade chips to go with some homemade Salsa!
The amazing part of this simple recipe is that you only need 3 ingredients. Corn Tortillas, some cooking spray and salt! Pretty simple isn't it?
While you can use whatever kind of cooking spray you have on hand, I am partial to using either Olive Oil or Avocado based cooking spray. Just a personal preference and nothing else.
The cook time and method may differ based on the type/size of Air Fryer you have. You might need to experiment a bit to fine tune this recipe for your Air Fryer.
💭 Recipe Tip
If you don't have an Air Fryer, you can make these homemade tortilla chips in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the tortilla wedges out on a baking sheet in a single layer and spray with cooking spray.
Bake for about 6 minutes, then flip the wedges over. Sprinkle with a little salt, and bake for another 6 to 9 minutes, until they begin to brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more salt.

These Air Fryer Tortilla Chips are to die for. I just love them and they take no time at all to make. I have made them in the oven and in the air fryer. The air fryer is very quick so I tend to use it more often. Great snack.
