# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in less time than it takes to preheat most ovens, which means dessert can happen on impulse.
  • Your kitchen will smell incredible enough that people think you've been cooking all day.
  • Once you taste that crispy exterior with the cinnamon sugar coating, you'll stop buying the bagged versions.
02 -
  • The flip at the halfway point is crucial—skip it and you'll have one side that's crispy and another that's chewy, which sounds nice in theory but isn't what you want.
  • They continue crisping as they cool, so don't judge them while they're still hot off the rack.
03 -
  • Don't crowd the air fryer basket; even if chips overlap slightly, they won't crisp evenly, and you'll end up with some chewy ones hiding underneath.
  • If you're making these for guests, prep the tortillas and cinnamon sugar ahead, then air fry them right before serving so they're at their crispiest when people eat them.
