Tortilla chips are a hit in every corner of the world. Most of the people pair commercial chips to get the perfect plate of nachos at home. Most guests love crispy yellow corn tortillas! However making perfect chip for our chili, salsa and guacamole is easy. Just air-fry or bake them. Air fryer tortilla chips recipe is an instant hit with my kiddo and so are 5 min tortilla pizzas
There is no need to buy commercial chips packets. I usually find corn chips extra salty so I prefer making them at home now. You can easily get a tortilla packet from Costco and air fry it. Works out cheaper and fresher to make air fryer homemade tortilla chips.

Instructions for tortilla bowls in air fryer
I have used smaller tortilla here. to make them fit in the ramekins I have, I have cut them into 2
Made a slit halfway through
Shape them up like a bowl in a ramekin . Brush it with oil
In a preheated airfryer (180C/355F for 5 minutes) , cook these for 5 minutes.
Take them out of the ramekin and cook further for 2 minutes at 180C/355F.
Store these in an air tight container if not using at the same time. Load them up with your favorite salad . I have prepared a an easy lentil salad below.
Variations and substitutions
You can choose any seasoning of your choice. I have tried using garlic powder with paprika or the curry powder as well. You can also cut it as straight air fryer tortilla strips instead of triangles. air fryer cinnamon tortilla chips are also a great variation. You can also use these chips as a base to make your own air fryer pizza tortilla.
