4.3 from 15 reviews

Crispy and flavorful homemade Doritos made with simple tortilla chips and a zesty ranch seasoning blend, cooked to perfection in an air fryer for a quick and healthy snack.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

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 (1/2 pack)
  • Cooking spray for spraying tortilla pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, granulated sugar, onion powder, and salt. Mix well to create a uniform spice blend.
  2. Cut Tortillas: Slice each tortilla into 6 or 8 even pieces using a pizza cutter for consistent triangle shapes that resemble Doritos chips.
  3. Season the Chips: Lightly spray the tortilla pieces with cooking spray to help the seasoning adhere. Then sprinkle the prepared seasoning mix evenly over the pieces.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned tortilla pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
  5. Preheat and Cook: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Air fry the chips for 3 minutes, then flip each piece carefully and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes until crisp and golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and place them on paper towels to cool and crisp up further before serving.

Notes

  • Using a pizza cutter ensures evenly sized tortilla pieces for uniform cooking.
  • Lightly spraying the chips with cooking spray helps the seasoning stick and promotes crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even frying.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to taste for a milder or spicier chip.
  • These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days for crunchiness retention.
