What is the best tortilla to use for air frying tortillas?

While I didn't test many different brands, the yellow corn tortillas produced the crispiest chip when compared to white corn and flour tortillas.

Can you make these air fryer tortilla chips with flour tortillas instead of corn?

Yes, but I prefer corn tortillas because they produce crisper chips. When I tested flour tortilla chips, they were chewy rather than crispy, and they air fried in 4-5 minutes. They did, in fact, burn quickly. Keep this in mind if you make these chips with flour tortillas.

How long do you air fry tortilla chips?

On 350F, they will take about 7-9 minutes. During my recipe testing, I discovered that white tortillas took a minute or two longer to cook than yellow tortillas. In addition, the maple cinnamon chips were ready in 5-7 minutes. (This is most likely due to the maple syrup and coconut sugar.)

How do you store homemade tortilla chips?

After the chips have completely cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
