Air Fried Corn Tortilla Chips - No Oil
  1. Cut corn tortillas into 8ths and place on the air fryer rack. Place in a cold Breville Smart Oven Air fryer.
  2. Set temperature to 375 degrees and set timer for 9 minutes.
  3. Different air fryers may require a different temperature and or time. Also different brands of corn tortillas take different times - depends on how thick they are are and how wet they are. Keep a close on them as they can go from lightly brown to burnt quickly!
  4. If you don't own an air fryer you can still make good chips in your oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place cut corn tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat mat or parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Time will vary depending on your oven and the brand of tortillas used.
