Chef's Notes

  • For the crispiest results, ensure your tortilla triangles are cut from fresh, not stale, wraps. Stale wraps can become tough rather than brittle.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Overcrowding will steam the tortillas instead of crisping them, leading to a chewy texture.
  • Adjust the chili powder quantity to your personal heat preference. For a milder crisp, omit it entirely or use a smaller amount.
  • The lemon juice adds a bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the oil and spices. Ensure it's freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
  • These crisps are best enjoyed immediately after cooking for maximum crunch. If storing, an airtight container will help retain some crispness for a day or two, but they will soften.

Storage

Reheating: Air fry at 180°C (356°F) for 1-2 minutes to restore crispness.
