3.8 from 4 reviews

Make your own crunchy, flavorful Doritos-style chips at home using an air fryer. This recipe uses simple pantry spices and tortillas to create a tasty snack with a perfect spicy kick and crispy texture in just 13 minutes.

  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Tortilla Chips

  • 12 Tortillas
  • ½ tbsp Oil (spray oil as needed)

Seasoning Mix

  • 2 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • ½ tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp Pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, sugar, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences. Transfer the mix into a large zip-top bag.
  2. Cut Tortillas: Place the tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Slice each tortilla in half, then cut each half in half, and then in half again to create eight triangular chips from each tortilla.
  3. Oil the Chips: Lightly spray each tortilla triangle with oil to help them crisp up and hold seasoning.
  4. Air Fry the Chips: Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer in your air fryer basket, allowing edges to touch but not overlap. Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 3 minutes. Flip the chips carefully and air fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until crispy.
  5. Season the Chips: Remove the chips and let them cool for about a minute. Transfer them into the zip-top bag filled with seasoning and seal the bag. Shake well to coat each chip evenly with the seasoning mix.
  6. Serve or Store: Shake off any extra seasoning and serve the chips immediately or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Ensure chips are spaced without overlapping in the air fryer basket for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities based on how spicy or mild you want your chips.
  • Use fresh oil spray to promote crispness but avoid using too much oil to keep chips light.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
  • Feel free to experiment with different spices or add cheese powder for flavor variations.
