How to cut tortillas?

If you’re making homemade tortilla chips cutting them in a similar shape is necessary. If your tortilla is cut similarly, they cook evenly without leaving any of the chips uncooked.

You can cut the tortillas into various shapes and sizes. I found cutting them in a triangle shape is the easiest way and it’s the standard tortilla chips shape.

air fryer tortilla chips from tortillas

  • Take a tortilla to cut it in half lengthwise making 2 equal halves.
  • Again, take one of the halves and continue cutting into 3 equal-sized making triangles.
  • Repeat the same process to cut the rest of the tortillas.

Note: You can also pile a few tortillas and cut them together, this will take lesser time and cut your tortilla in a uniform shape and size. I suggest you use a 6-inch tortilla as it gives you the perfect size and is easy to cut.

    I did a whole tortilla (carb balance) and had it with peanut butter. I’ll use this (air fried whole) for a pizza crust. Great and simple idea!
