Ingredients
Scale

- Cooking oil spray (avocado or olive oil spray)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder
Instructions
- Choose the Tortillas: Select 4 flour or corn tortillas. For chips, stack and cut into quarters or eighths using a knife or pizza cutter. Leave whole for tostadas.
- Apply Oil: Lightly spray both sides of the tortilla pieces with cooking oil spray to help achieve a golden, crispy texture.
- Season: Sprinkle salt evenly over the tortillas. Add optional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
- Preheat Air Fryer: If required by your model, preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Air Fry in Batches: Arrange tortilla pieces in a single layer in the basket. Avoid overlapping. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 4–6 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Cool: Once golden and crisp, transfer the tortillas to a plate or cooling rack. Let cool for 1 minute before serving.
Notes
For a sweet version, omit salt and use cinnamon sugar.
Avoid overcrowding in the air fryer to ensure even crisping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
These work great for homemade chips, tostadas, and toppings.
