Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Refined Oil
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
Optional Spices
- Chili Powder red, to taste
- Oregano to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and turmeric powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and salt.
- Add the oil to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Gradually pour in the warm turmeric water while mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until a dough forms.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough very thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Lightly brush the surface of the dough with oil. Prick the dough all over with a fork. This prevents the chips from puffing up during cooking.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into triangles or desired shapes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the nacho chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn quickly.
- Allow the chips to cool completely before serving. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra flavor and texture, lightly brush the chips with lime juice and sprinkle with a mix of smoked paprika and chili powder before air frying.
- If you prefer whole grain options, substitute half of the refined flour with whole wheat flour or masa harina for a more authentic taste and added fiber.
- To ensure maximum crispiness, arrange the chips in a single, non-overlapping layer in the air fryer basket and work in batches if needed.
Expert Tips
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Overcrowding will steam the chips instead of crisping them. Cook in batches for best results.
- Experiment with different seasonings! Try adding garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, or even a touch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- For a fun variation, cut the tortillas into different shapes using cookie cutters before frying.
Storage Instructions
- Store any leftover chips in an airtight container with a silica gel packet or a few dry rice grains to help maintain their crunch for several days.
