    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.

    Other air fryer recipes include air fryer bread recipe, Air fryer pasties, Air fryer tofu nuggets, Air Fryer Stuffed Bell Peppers, air fryer focaccia ,vegan soy curls , air fryer sweet potato hasselback & chocolate hot cross buns.
