# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Theyre done faster than you can find your keys, and taste like you actually tried.
  • You control the salt and seasoning, so theyre exactly as bold or mild as you want.
  • Theres no greasy mess to clean up, just a quick wipe of the air fryer basket.
  • They stay crispy for days if you manage not to eat them all in one sitting.
02 -
  • Dont skip shaking the basket halfway through or the chips on the bottom will burn while the top ones stay soft.
  • If your tortillas are thick or fresh, add an extra minute of cook time and check for doneness.
  • Let them cool completely before storing or theyll turn soggy in the container overnight.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the tortillas quickly and evenly without tearing.
  • If you want extra crispy chips, lower the temp to 325°F and cook a minute or two longer.
  • Taste one chip after the first batch and adjust the salt or spice before making the next round.
