Instructions
Instructions
- Decide whether you will bake or air-fry the chips and preheat: oven to 350°F, or air fryer to 325°F for 5 minutes.
- Pour the 2 tablespoons olive oil into a small bowl or shallow dish.
- Use a pastry brush (or a folded paper towel) to lightly coat both sides of all 12 corn tortillas with the olive oil.
- Stack the tortillas and cut each one into 6 triangle wedges (cut each tortilla into thirds, then cut each third in half).
- Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer (no overlap) on a baking sheet for the oven, or in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary so pieces do not overlap.
- Oven method: bake at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, use tongs or a spatula to flip each chip, then bake another 5–7 minutes or until the chips are crispy and lightly browned.
- Air-fryer method: air fry at 325°F for 5–7 minutes, checking halfway through and flipping or shaking the basket once if needed, until the chips are crispy and lightly browned.
- Immediately after removing each batch from the oven or air fryer, sprinkle the 2 teaspoons sea salt evenly over the chips (divide the salt evenly across batches if cooking more than one).
- Let the chips cool a few minutes to crisp up, then serve.
Notes
Each tortilla is one serving to give you 4-6 chips each.
Be sure to cut the tortillas into equally sized wedges so that they bake evenly.
Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tortillas with oil or cooking spray, this will provide even coverage and help prevent them from burning.
Make sure that you spread the chips out in a single layer on your baking sheet or air fryer basket when you place them in the oven, this will help ensure that they bake evenly.
Watch them closely while they are cooking, as they can burn quickly.
Don’t skip the oil on the chips, this is what gives the nice and crispy exterior.
You can use any type of favorite healthy fats to crisp these tortilla chips, use canola oil, olive oil, avocado oil, or even melted coconut oil if you are making a sweet tortilla chip.
