They can even be used for nachos, with chicken or ground beef and a squeeze of lime juice! For extra crunch, sprinkle crispy tortilla chips over casseroles and soups.
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.
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.
