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
Chips
- 15 pieces corn or flour tortillas (about 1/2 pack)
- Cooking spray (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, granulated sugar, onion powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly blended.
- Cut the tortillas: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the tortillas into 6 or 8 equal pieces each. This will create evenly sized chips for consistent cooking.
- Season the tortilla pieces: Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with cooking spray to help the seasoning adhere and to promote crispiness. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the pieces and toss gently to coat all sides.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Place the seasoned tortilla pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Make sure the pieces don’t overlap to allow proper air flow and even cooking.
- Preheat and cook: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, air fry the chips for 3 minutes. Then flip them over to cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes. This ensures all sides become crisp and golden.
- Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and transfer them onto paper towels to cool. This helps absorb any excess oil and lets the chips harden to a perfect crunch. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Using a pizza cutter makes slicing the tortillas quick and uniform.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to taste if you prefer more or less spice.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Flour tortillas work well, but corn tortillas yield a more authentic Doritos texture and flavor.
