What's your chip shape preference? Are you more of a classic triangle tortilla chip person or do you go for the rounds or strips?

I personally prefer the round tortilla chips but for the sake of making this recipe easy to make and versatile, I'm going to walk you through how to make homemade tortilla chips in the air fryer in their traditional triangle shape! For fun shapes, either carefully use a sharp knife or cookie cutter.

Ingredient Notes

Skip the store bought chips and make your own with these simple staple ingredients. They're vegan, gluten free, and contain nearly no oil!

What you'll need:

• Air fryer: Here's the one I use and love!
• Tortillas: I suggest small corn tortillas. You can also use flour tortillas, low carb tortillas, cassava flour tortillas, or whatever you typically buy.
• Cooking oil: Use your go-to cooking spray. Olive oil and avocado oil work great!
• Salt: Any will do.

How to Make Air Fryer Tortilla Chips

• Slice the tortillas into triangles
• Arrange in a single layer on air fryer basket
• Coat with cooking spray
• Air fry at 350F for 8-10 minutes

Tips for The Best Air Fryer Tortilla Chips

• Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket. You want the tortilla pieces to lay flat in a single layer. Work in batches, if needed!
• Place a trivet on top of the chips if they start flying around. This will help to try and keep them in place.
• If you don't have or want to use cooking spray, you can brush oil on each side of the tortilla pieces instead.
• Depending on what type of air fryer you use, cooking times may vary slightly.
• Want baked tortilla chips instead? Make tortilla chips in the oven by baking at 400F for 6-8 minutes.
• Homemade air fried tortilla chips are best served immediately. If you have leftovers, let them fully cool, then store in an airtight container.
