Air Fryer Tortilla Chips

How many points are tortilla chips?

Fried tortilla chips are the greatest temptation at the Mexican restaurant table and wow can the points add up quickly. Make your own and you’ll have a low point treat that is really delicious and stands up to any dip.

I love making these air fryer tortilla chips to serve alongside low-point dinners. Check out these ww meal plans for more ideas of what I eat on WW every day.

These air fryer tortilla chips are 4 points on MyWW Blue, 4 points on MyWW Green, and 4 points on MyWW Purple, per serving size when using a plain, white-flour tortilla and we counted the points based on eating one tortilla’s worth of chips.

Here are some other lower points options:

• Joseph’s Oat bran and whole wheat flour tortillas – 1 point per tortilla on all plans. (Tip: the Joseph’s Lavash breads also work well)
• Flatout Light flatbreads – 2 points per flatbread
• Mission Carb Balance Soft Tortilla (white or whole wheat) – 2 points per tortilla
• Other tortillas of your choice – scan for points.

Make a delicious homemade salsa (zero points) or use store-bought salsa to go with these tortilla chips and you have a perfect appetizer or snack for the family.

How do you heat tortilla chips in an Air Fryer?

Very lightly spritz the chips with oil and put them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350 degrees. Reheating tortilla chips is quick and easy in the Air Fryer. 

Are Air Fryers good for chips?

Absolutely, air fryers make good chips. You can easily make chips that are not deep-fried and still have a delicious crunch. Air fryer chips are a healthier option than deep fat fryers. Make fresh chips or use the air fryer to reheat chips.

How long do chips take in an air fryer?

Not long at all. Tortilla chips in an air fryer generally take 2-4 minutes on each side. Our recipe calls for 4 minutes on each side and do not go over 10 minutes or the edges will burn.

Are tortilla chips healthier than potato chips?

Potato chips get a bad start with 15 more calories per serving than tortilla chips. Traditional tortilla chips are also high in saturated fat. Make this healthier version and enjoy them without the guilt.

Why are my air fryer chips soggy or soft?

Here are some of the reasons why your air fryer chips might come out soggy:

• Using too much oil. Lightly spray with oil or cooking spray.
• The air fryer wasn’t pre-heated to a hot enough temperature.
• You didn’t cook them long enough.

How to make Tortilla Chips in Air Fryer

Now you can make tortilla chips at home that are half the fat, lower in calories, low in WW points, and even higher in fiber if you use a whole-grain tortilla.

Stack the tortillas on your cutting board.

Cut the tortillas in triangles.

Lightly brush on the oil and sprinkle with salt. To much oil will make them less crispy, so brush oil thinly or use cooking spray.

Bake till golden brown and enjoy. Yummy!

 

This mango salsa is a great addition to these tortilla chips. It has just enough spice and sweet mangos.
