Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 medium flour tortillas
  • olive oil for misting
  • chili/lime season salt like Tiajin or seasoning of your choice. See note 1

Instructions

  • Spray both sides of the tortillas with olive oil or cooking oil.
  • Sprinkle each side with seasoning to taste.
  • Cook 5 mintues on Air Fry setting. Flip tortillas over at mid point.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

 
Note 1:  If you don't have a premade Mexican-style seasoning combine a ½ teaspoon each of salt, chili powder and cumin. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or other chili powder like Ancho or Habanero to taste.  Sprinkle over both sides of the tortilla.
Air Fryer Tortilla Bowl:
  1. Spray flour tortilla with olive oil or cooking spray on both sides. Use a toothpick to prick the tortilla all over, right out to the outer edge. Don't skip this step or the tortilla will blow up and won't form a bowl shape.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees if necessary.
  3. Drape tortilla over outside of a small bowl. The size of bowl will vary depending on the size of your tortilla.
  4. Center the bowl upside down and air fry (on air fry setting) for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove bowl, gently remove the tortilla bowl. Set the bowl upright and air fry another 2 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool before filling with salad.
 
Air Fryer Chips:
  1. You can use corn or flour tortillas.
  2. Spray both sides with olive oil or cooking spray.
  3. Sprinkle the tortilla with Tiajin or a mixture of equal parts chili powder and salt.
  4. Air fry for 3 minutes for crispy edges and for 5 minutes for crispy throughout.
  5. Allow to cool before dipping in salsa and or sour cream. Drizzle with lime juice if desired.
Note:  For sweet chips sprinkle with equal parts cinnamon and sugar.
