A Reader’s Review
These are yummy! And so easy, especially when I oiled and salted the tortillas before cutting them into wedges.

Why These Air Fryer Chips Are Snack Goals
- Less oil, same crunch: Air frying uses a fraction of the oil, cutting calories without losing that crispy, golden texture you love.
- No mess, no stress: Skip the hot oil and splatter. Air fryer chips are faster, cleaner, and easier with zero deep-frying drama.
- Fresh flavor, every time: Make small batches and season them to complement what you are eating them with, like my Mississippi Sin dip!
Air Fryer Tortilla Chip Ingredients
- Add Extra Flavor: Try tossing your tortilla chips with ranch seasoning for that cool ranch effect, cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat, or Cajun seasoning for a spicy kick.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in a single layer and shake halfway through for crispy, even chips.
- Olive Oil Alternative: Use olive oil cooking spray instead of spreading olive oil directly. It works perfectly!
- Corn Tortillas: I used yellow corn tortillas, but feel free to use white corn tortillas or flour tortillas.
