Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Base
- 15 pieces corn or flour tortillas (about half a pack)
- Cooking spray (for lightly coating tortilla pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, granulated sugar, onion powder, and salt thoroughly to create a flavorful spice blend for the tortilla chips.
- Slice Tortillas: Using a sharp pizza cutter, cut tortillas into 6 to 8 evenly sized triangular pieces to mimic traditional chip shapes, ensuring consistent cooking.
- Season the Tortillas: Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with cooking spray to help the seasoning adhere. Then, sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the tortilla pieces, tossing gently to coat all sides.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned tortilla pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, taking care that they do not overlap to allow even crisping.
- Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cook the tortilla chips for 3 minutes, then flip each piece carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes to achieve optimal crispness.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and transfer them onto paper towels to cool and drain any excess oil. Enjoy immediately or store airtight for later snacking.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix for some heat.
- Use corn tortillas for a more authentic Doritos experience or flour tortillas for a softer chip.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
- Spraying the chips lightly helps achieve crisp edges without excess oil.
