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 1/2 pack)
- Cooking spray, as needed
- Prepare seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, granulated sugar, onion powder, and salt. Mix well to form a flavorful spice blend.
- Slice tortillas: Using a pizza cutter, slice each tortilla into 6 or 8 equal pieces to create chip-sized wedges. Cutting evenly helps ensure all chips cook uniformly.
- Season tortillas: Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with cooking spray to help the seasoning adhere. Then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the tortilla pieces.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the seasoned tortilla pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
- Cook the chips: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cook the chips for 3 minutes, then carefully flip them over and cook for an additional 2 minutes until crispy and lightly browned.
- Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and place them on paper towels to cool and absorb any excess oil. Serve once cooled.
Notes
- Use either corn or flour tortillas based on your preference; corn will give a more authentic Doritos texture.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more or less ranch mix or smoked paprika if desired.
- For extra crispiness, you can increase cooking time by 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- If you don’t have a pizza cutter, a sharp knife or kitchen scissors can be used to cut the tortillas.
