Instructions 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350℉ for 4 minutes.
  • Cut your corn tortillas into quarters or 1/6th triangles
  • Spray lightly with cooking spray and spread out in air fryer so there’s very little (if any) overlap
  • Air fry for 6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and transfer to a cooling rack to crisp up while you prep the next batch!

Notes

*I used small yellow corn tortillas (5 inches). Flour tortillas also work, but they can cook much faster and sometimes have a chewier texture. I personally prefer the taste and texture of corn tortillas when making tortilla chips in an air fryer!
