Ingredients

Scale

Seasoning Mix

  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Chips

  • 15 pieces corn or flour tortillas (about half a standard pack)
  • Cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, granulated sugar, onion powder, and salt to form your flavorful spice blend.
  2. Slice Tortillas: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice each tortilla into 6 to 8 evenly sized triangular pieces to resemble chip shapes, ensuring uniform cooking.
  3. Coat Chips: Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with cooking spray to help the seasoning adhere and to facilitate crisping during air frying. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over all pieces and gently toss to coat.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned tortilla pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking and crispness.
  5. Air Fry Chips: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cook the chips for 3 minutes, then flip them carefully to cook an additional 2 minutes or until they are crisp and golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and transfer them onto paper towels to cool and allow excess oil or moisture to drain. Serve once cooled for maximum crunchiness.

Notes

  • Use corn tortillas for a more authentic Doritos flavor and extra crunch.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to taste for more or less spice.
  • Make sure chips are in a single layer in the air fryer basket to avoid sogginess.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • For a gluten-free version, use corn tortillas labeled gluten-free.
