Preparation
  1. Slice the tortillas into thin strips both vertically and horizontally.

  3. Sprinkle with coarse salt and mix to ensure even distribution.
Cooking
  1. Place half of the tortilla strips into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Set the air fryer to 325°F and cook for 3 minutes.
  3. After 3 minutes, shake the basket gently to ensure even cooking.
  4. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning. Adjust time as necessary until desired crispiness is reached.

Notes

To prevent uneven cooking, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Using a bit of oil is essential for proper crispiness.
