# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're ready in under twenty minutes, which means you can satisfy a sudden sweet craving without heating up the whole oven.
  • The air fryer does all the work—no babysitting a skillet or worrying about uneven frying.
  • Kids and adults alike devour these, making them perfect when you need something to actually disappear from a plate.
02 -
  • Cinnamon sugar will burn if your air fryer runs hot—watch that first batch closely and lower the temperature to 325°F if the edges are turning dark too quickly.
  • The chips continue crisping as they cool, so don't panic if they seem slightly soft when they first come out of the air fryer.
03 -
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake these at 375°F for ten to twelve minutes on a lined baking sheet, though the texture won't be quite as crispy.
  • A pizza cutter makes cutting the stacked tortillas way faster than fumbling with a knife, and it gives you cleaner edges.
