AirFry Corn Tortilla Chips Recipe

37 Comments

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!

    • 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.

  10. 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!

  11. 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!

  12. 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.

  19. 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!

  22. 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.

  24. 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!

  27. 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?
