Mix together the oil, lime juice and seasonings.
2 tablespoons oil, juice of 1 lime, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Use a pastry brush to lightly coat a tortilla with the seasoned oil.
8 large flour tortillas
Cut the tortilla through the middle into triangles. I find a pizza wheel really works well for this.
Place the tortilla triangles in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook at 360F for 5 to 7 minutes. Halfway through cooking, check on the chips and carefully flatten them by hand if any have curled up. Cook til lightly browned and crispy.
Once cook, set to one side and let cool for a few minutes.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

For best results, air fry the tortillas in a single layer so that they get crispy all over. You will need to cook them in several batches.

Halfway through cooking, open the air fryer and you can use your fingers to flatten down the tortilla chips if they start to curl.

Depending on your model of air fryer, cooking times can vary. Keep your eye on them to make sure they don't overcook and add extra time if needed.
