Too Easy Not to Try
This recipe could not be easier. Just cut the tortillas into your desired shape, or make some quick tostada shells. Spritz with a bit of cooking spray, and a light sprinkle of salt. 5 minutes in the air fryer and you’re ready to start munching on these homemade tortilla chips.

Take 30 seconds to give them a heavy dusting with some ranch seasoning and you are munching in style. If you need to, give them a light spritz with cooking spray to help the seasoning stick.
As I said, this is your chance to make this recipe your own. There are loads of great seasoning blends you might try in place of ranch. Just ask yourself, “would this make a good Dorito flavor?” if the answer is yes, you might have a winner.

Warm up some nacho cheese dip, get some salsa going or you can even pair it with our Buffalo Chicken Dip in the Ninja Foodi. Now you are munching like royalty. You can really do anything you like with this recipe. Make some nachos, get some bean dip going, shred up some lettuce…

It is a simple matter of how much effort you want to invest in your own snacking. If you are unwilling to invest some effort you will always snack at a low level. It’s up to you. Are you going to snack like some amateur, or are you willing to snack in the big leagues? I think you know the answer.
Until next time, may the snacks be with you… always.
