- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Garlic powder

Instructions
Prepare the Tortillas:

Season the Chips:
- Lightly brush or spray the tortilla pieces with oil. Sprinkle your choice of seasonings evenly.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Allow it to preheat for 2-3 minutes.
Cook the Chips:
- Arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even crisping.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Cool and Serve:
- Remove the chips and let them cool slightly. Enjoy with your favorite dips, like salsa, guacamole, or queso!
Notes
- Tortilla Type: Use corn tortillas for the crispiest texture. Flour tortillas work but may have a softer result.
- Batch Cooking: For larger quantities, cook in multiple batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Storage: Store leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly in the air fryer for a refreshingly crisp texture.
- Custom Seasonings: Experiment with lime zest, smoked paprika, or parmesan for unique flavors.
