Can you make tortilla chips in an air fryer? You definitely can! Cooking tortilla chips in an air fryer will give you much better results with less fat than deep-frying. Plus, they taste better when cooked in an air fryer, and they’re super easy to make.
One of the great things about cooking tortilla chips in an air fryer is that they come out much crunchier than they would if you were to deep fry them. Because less oil is used in an air fryer, the chips don’t get greasy and soggy when you cook them. They also come out with a nice, golden brown colour.

Working in batches, add the tortilla wedges to the air fryer in a single layer and cook for 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
