Tortillas
Oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast or finely grated cheddar cheese (optional for cheesy flavor)
- Prepare the tortillas: Stack the tortillas and cut each into 6 triangular chips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Toss with oil and seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the oil over the tortilla triangles. Sprinkle the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and nutritional yeast or cheese if using. Toss well to evenly coat each chip.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the chips: Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the chips are crisp and slightly golden. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crisping.
- Cool and serve: Remove the chips carefully and let them cool for a few minutes to crisp up further. Serve as a snack or with your favorite dip.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning amounts to your taste preference.
- Use corn tortillas for authentic Doritos flavor and crispiness.
- Monitor the chips closely during air frying to prevent burning.
- For cheesy flavor, nutritional yeast is a great vegan option.
- Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
