    • For crispy chips, don't overcrowd the basket. Place the tortilla pieces in a single layer with as little overlapping as possible. Work in batches.
    • For spicy and flavorful tortilla chips, try adding seasonings like cajun seasoning, ranch seasoning, or sprinkle some chili powder, paprika or garlic powder.

    How To Serve Tortilla Chips

    Serve the homemade tortilla chips with your favorite dips like queso, guacamole, salsa, or hummus. Tortilla chips are also a great addition to salads as croutons. They can even be used for tacos and nachos, with chicken or ground beef and a squeeze of lime juice! For extra crunch, sprinkle crispy tortilla chips over casseroles and soups.

    Storing and Reheating

    Homemade tortilla chips should be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag. Keep the chips at room temperature. The leftover tortilla chips will last for up to 2 weeks.

    If the tortilla chips start to lose their crispness, you can reheat them in the air fryer or in the oven on a baking sheet.

    Can I use flour tortillas instead?

    Yes, you can use any type of tortilla including flour tortillas. However, they will not be as crunchy as using corn tortillas and there will be a difference in flavor.

    Can I make this recipe gluten free?

    Yes, you can make the recipe gluten-free by using a gluten-free tortilla. Most corn tortillas are gluten-free but be sure to check the packaging.

    What is the best way to keep tortilla chips crunchy?

    The best way to keep the chips crispy is to store them in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. If they start to lose their crunch, reheat them in the air fryer.
