Preheat Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
Cut the Tortillas:
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. You can adjust the size of the triangles based on your preference.
Step 2: Season and Air Fry
Season the Chips:
Place the tortilla triangles in a mixing bowl. Lightly spray them with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and any additional seasonings like lime juice, chili powder, cumin, or garlic powder, if desired. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Air Fry the Chips:
Arrange the seasoned tortilla triangles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air Fry:
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes, shaking or flipping the chips halfway through cooking. Cook until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
Step 3: Serve
Cool and Enjoy:
Remove the tortilla chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve:
Serve the air fryer tortilla chips with your favorite dips like salsa, guacamole, or enjoy them plain as a snack.

Storage: Store any leftover tortilla chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Re-crisp them in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving if needed.
