For an additional flavor experience, you can spray with lime juice instead of water to help your spices adhere.

Would lime juice work as well as water for more taste?

Valerie Valdez

Trader Joes has great corn tortillas, 3 ingredients: corn, water, lime. I cook mine in my air fryer and they come out great!

What brand carries oil free tortillas?

Naomi M

If you could find Ezekiel sprouted corn tortillas at a co-op or some place then those should be oil free! I’ve also seen oil free brands locally. Not sure the brand names, but I remember the ingredients list.

Corn tortillas from the store don’t usually have oil in them.

Theresa Boucher

I have made chips before just like this. I usually cut tortillas in 6ths but wanted to try a bigger chip, less flipping. I also put some lime in my water spray for flavor.
