Description
Unlock the secret to perfectly crispy tortillas with minimal oil using your air fryer. This quick and easy method delivers golden, flavorful tortillas with a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
- 6–8 small (6-inch) corn or flour tortillas
- 1–2 tablespoons light oil (e.g., avocado, grapeseed, or olive oil)
- Pinch of fine sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Air Fryer & Prep Tortillas: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with your chosen oil.
- 2. Season Tortillas: Sprinkle both sides of the oiled tortillas with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings (smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder) to your preference.
- 3. Arrange in Basket: Place seasoned tortillas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; work in batches if necessary.
- 4. Air Fry: Cook for 2-4 minutes per side for fully crispy tortillas, or 1-2 minutes per side for softer results with crispy edges. Cooking times may vary by air fryer model and tortilla thickness.
- 5. Flip & Finish: Carefully flip the tortillas halfway through cooking. Continue air frying until they are golden brown and achieve your desired level of crispness. Remove and serve immediately.
