When planning for a Halloween party, these air fryer tortilla chips are a great choice! You can use any cookie cutter to add a little festive fun to the party. The ghost chips look super fun and not too scary, either. Made with simple ingredients, these crunchy chips are ready in 4-6 minutes and use just a fraction of the oil than classic tortilla chips.
Store-bought tortilla chips and salsa are good for parties, but these ghost shaped tortilla chips are more fun to eat! Making homemade air fryer tortilla chips is also a great way to reduce fat and calories.
The process is very simple. Just grab some white corn or yellow corn tortillas, flour tortillas, or whatever your favorite tortilla may be at the grocery store, cut them with fun, festive cookie cutters, spray with a little bit of oil and cook in the air fryer. Pair with your favorite dips, serve as spooky Halloween nachos with a little bit of taco meat, or as a fun side dish for taco night.
What type of tortilla can you use for this recipe?
Corn and flour tortillas work well, but you really can use any kind of tortillas that are your favorite. While I have not tried, I don’t see a reason that almond flour, cassava flour, or any other gluten free tortillas wouldn’t work in this recipe. For healthier homemade chips that are not gluten free, try whole wheat tortillas.
What kind of dips go well with air fryer tortilla chips?
Salsa is a great choice, but you can also serve with guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, bean dip, or wow everyone with this crock pot Mexican street corn dip.
Can I season these easy air fryer tortilla chips?
Yes! After you spray with oil spray, sprinkle on your favorite seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or paprika. And of course, don’t forget the salt. You can also use flaky sea salt right after cooking.
You can also make these delicious cinnamon sugar chips in the air fryer.
Tips for making tortilla chips in the air fryer:
Lay tortilla pieces in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Spray with cooking spray or light baste with olive oil or avocado oil to help with crisping.
Store cooled chips in an airtight container. If you want extra crispy chips, cook again for about a minute in your air fryer before serving.
Depending on your air fryer model, see if you can get a screen to protect the heating element or arrange your tray in a way that the chips will not fly up and get burnt. Air fryers use hot air, so your chips will float around during the cooking process.
