Steps

  1. 01Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges.
  2. 02Spray lightly with oil. Sprinkle with salt.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer. You may need to cook in 2 to 3 batches.
  4. 04They crisp as they cool. Pull them when they feel firm but still slightly flexible.
Corn tortillas only. Flour tortillas puff up into balloons instead of crisping into chips. If your tortillas are fresh and very pliable, let them sit uncovered for 30 minutes first to dry out slightly. Stale corn tortillas make better chips than fresh ones.
