Whip up some scrumptious, healthy homemade tortilla chips with a baked or air-fried twist! These crunchy delights are a dream team with guac, salsas, or nachos. Ditch the store-bought versions for a homemade batch that’s bursting with flavor, oil light, and low on salt – a guilt-free snacking extravaganza!
Not only can you make your own homemade baked tortilla chips, but you can also add your favorite seasonings. Chile-lime, chile-cumin, Tajin, and cinnamon sugar (my favorite) are some of the flavors you can add to your chips.

How to Make Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips
3 ingredients for this easy recipe.
Corn tortillas – Thinner corn tortillas tend to bake evenly, thicker may take a little longer to cook.
Olive Oil – bottle or spray
Salt – Regular or sea salt…if you are watching your salt intake, you can use a salt substitute.
Oven Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil. Stack the tortillas and cut the tortillas with a pizza cutter into sixths.
- Spread the cut tortilla triangles out on the baking sheets in a single layer and season with salt or seasonings.
- Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 7-10 minutes.
- Season with salt, or your favorite seasoning
How to Make Homemade Tortilla Chips in Air Fryer
- At 350 degrees F, place the tortilla chips into your air fryer basket and spray them with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and cook them for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the basket from the fryer, give the chips a quick shake, and test their crispiness. If not crisp, cook for another 2 minutes.
- Each air fryer is different, adjust the timing of your air fryer. I have a small air fryer, so I fry my corn tortillas in batches.
Seasonings for Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips
- Chile-Lime – 1 Lime, 2 T Chili Powder, and 1/2 t. Salt
- Cinnamon Sugar – 1/2 c sugar & 2 T cinnamon mix, sprinkle then bake.
- Tajin – Chile seasoning found in the Hispanic aisle in the grocery store.
- Lime – 1/4 cup lime juice & 2 T olive oil in a bowl. Brush tortillas with oil-lime and cut into triangles. Sprinkle salt and bake.
