Steps
- 1
Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. Brush or spray lightly with oil on both sides.
- 2
Arrange in a single layer in the basket — minimal overlapping.
- 3
Air fry at 350°F for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket every 2 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- 4
Immediately squeeze lime juice over hot chips and sprinkle with salt (and chili powder or cumin if using).
- 5
Serve with salsa, guacamole, or queso.
Tip: They crisp up more as they cool — pull them when they're light golden, not dark. Overlapping chips will steam instead of crisp, so work in batches.
