Low carb air-fryer tortilla chips are so easy to make at home when you have store-bought tortillas handy. The process is very simple and all you need is some homemade or store-bought tortillas and an air-fryer to crisp them into low-carb tortilla chips. Are you ready? Let’s check the recipe!
Making your own tortilla is fun and rewarding. But for low-carb chips, I prefer store bought tortillas over the homemade ones. I have these keto flax paratha and zucchini Roti options that are perfect for keto dieters.
But a low-carb tortilla like Mission’s carb balance or Thrive Market’s coconut flour tortillas are perfect for this recipe. Plus, you save a lot of time as well.
These homemade tortilla chips taste so much better and is healthier for you. Enjoy them with some homemade cottage cheese dip or with some guacamole. Here are some of my other air-fryer recipes that you will love.
I am using my Instant Pot Vortex XL for this recipe. I have tried this in my other air fryers as well, which works perfectly too. The best part of this homemade tortilla chips is that you can add your own seasoning to your liking and customize them as well. That means, you can make flavorful and crisp ones. With my Instant Pot Vortex air-fryer, the cooking part is effortless.
For this recipe I used Mission’s low carb tortillas. Start by choosing your tortillas. You may use coconut wraps as well. But they cook way faster than these Mission carb balance tortillas. Cut the tortillas into triangles and toss them with just a little bit of oil. I prefer avocado oil since we will air-Fry the tortillas at high temperature like 350F. But feel free to use other cooking oil as per your choice.

Great timing and temperature! I used regular corn tortillas cut in quarters and they were delicious! Much better than normal chips! WOW!
