Tajin seasoning is a dry chili & lime spice seasoning. You can find it at the grocery store with other Mexican food ingredients.

The chili lime flavor is dominant with just a tiny bit of spicy. It is not a hot spicy kind of seasoning.

Tajin has simple ingredients like chili peppers, salt and dehydrated lime juice. It’s super affordable at four dollars a bottle and will last you a long time.

Tips for Making Air Fryer Tortilla Chips

• Do Not OverStack the chips in the air fryer. They will stick together and not crisp up! No more than 8 at a time.

• Cooking Times vary. Not all air fryers are created equal. I recommend cooking at 350 for 5-7 min, but test them. If your chips are not crispy after 7 minutes, put them in for another 2 minutes.

• Cooling the chips on a wire rack will help them get crunchier. I usually let them cool for a few hours.
