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. 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.
I am no longer buying 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 too.
