If you are a fan of fried foods you are well aware that frying food is ‘bad’ for you.
What if I told you that it was possible to create ‘fried’ food with hot air? It seems impossible, and while I was skeptical at first after reading about it and trying it out I am convinced the people at Philips who designed the Philips Airfryer are geniuses!

One of our favorite snacks is nachos and salsa with cantina style chips. I knew that making these chips was easy if you had corn tortillas and a deep fryer so I set out to make these in the Philips Airfryer. I was amazed.
Just 1 tbsp of olive oil and 3 minutes and I had perfectly delicious, crunchy tortilla chips!

This machine sounds amazing! I’d love to have one at home!
Amazon sells a eefurbished air fryer for $84. I just bought one and it’s amazing. Nothing about is refurbished. It’s brand new. I outhink frozen chicken wings in it for 25 min and they came out super crispy and delicious.
OMG this is awesome!!! I love fresh chips and salsa, this looks amazing!

I have never made my own tortilla chips before! Who knew it was so easy!
a new idea for me to make home made tortilla chips. Love the machine, my daughter has a similar one and swears by it :-)
This would be awesome recipe to try if I win the Philips Airfryer!

It will take forever. Took more like 5 minutes per batch.
You found it took a long time? Are you using the Phillips Air Fryer?
How can people rate recipes when they haven’t tried them? I used 4 corn tortillas – not the 8 specified – and it took me 6 minutes to cook (while shaking the basic periodically to ensure they all had a chance to brown). I can’t imagine how you managed to get 8 whole corn tortillas in there! In any event, they weren’t bad … they probably could have used another minute or so. I think next time I’ll season the chips prior to cooking in airfryer … the seasoning simply fell off once they were taken out. Nothing to adhere them to the chip.
Max – I’m sorry that your seasoning fell off. I found with the olive oil that gave them enough to stick to but I like the idea of seasoning afterwards. And yes, will adjust the recipe to say to do them in two batches – that was an error. My apologies!
Thanks for this healthier and fast way of making tortilla chips! I have the small Power XL and thought it would be a great appliance for me and my pre-teens. It’s a hit and there’s no need to cook their fav foods on the stovetop anymore! I’m so impressed that I just bought the 5.3 quart size yesterday, so that I could make bigger meals that include roasted veggies and a whole chicken! I also have a pressure cooker that I love. Who needs a microwave or stove anymore!
So true! So many different appliances do so much now!
These were really good! I had to fry in a single layer and for 4 minutes to get them to crisp-up and brown a bit, as we like them. No need for salt if you dip in guac or salsa. Definitely a keeper.
So glad you liked them! They are a favorite here too. Thank you for your comment and rating!
I just started feeling comfortable with my air fryer and it’s beckme my favorite kitchen appliance! I can’t wait to try this.
Can I season with sugar and cinn too with oil of coarse
Yes absolutely!
These look delicious! I can’t wait to use my air fryer for all sorts of yummy foods Sunday :)

We’ve been talking about getting an air fryer and this just sold me. I love homemade tortilla chips.
I really want to make these sometime. I need to buy an air fryer, it seems like it would be a great investment for a kitchen gadget!
I bought my husband an air fryer for Christmas, I would have never thought to make these! We are gluten free, corn free but I can make these with my homemade wraps and in the air fryer! Thank you for sharing!
Yum, these chips look amazing!! I would love to try these in my air fryer!!
I use my air fryer for everything. I’d love to
Try this. Easy and delicious!
I need to get one of these air fryers because I see SO MANY delicious recipes that I want to make. These corn tortilla chips would be on that list for sure.
Yum! Can’t wait to try!
Let us know when you do! So delicious.
This is so easy and so much less grease! I have Celiac Disease and spend so much time trying to make my own stuff from scratch so I don’t risk exposure! Will need to get an air fryer and try this!
What a great way to make corn chips! We love our Air Fryer.
Who knew making chips in the air fryer was so simple?! Thanks for the easy recipe!
Yes – much easier than I thought it would be.
Why is the recipe specific to ‘corn’ tortillas? Have you tried others and they don’t work? Hubby and I are trying to be more low carb so we have the lower carb tortillas. I have not tried to make chips with my air fryer yet, even though that’s why I bought the thing. :-) I keep reading “corn” and I really don’t want to waste food if my tortillas aren’t going to work. Thoughts?
Sorry I have only made them with corn tortillas. I can’t see any problems with making them with other types of tortillas.
You mention that these are “healthier”, but I don’t see nutrition info. Do you have a comparison?
Tortilla chips are usually deep-fried so making them in the air fryer is absolutely heathier.
Have you tried popcorn? Would one need to use parchment paper to keep kernels in the basket?
Yes – I would recommend paper or a basket with a cover.
If you have a different air fryer, how can you convert the temp on this one to your own? I have the Power XL… would love to try this because my family eats a lot of tortillas. Thanks!
