  • Thicker Tortilla Adjustment: Add a minute or two for thicker tortillas.
  • Light Oil Coating: Lightly coat tortillas with oil using a spray or brush.
  • Flavor Experiments: Try seasonings like chili powder, garlic powder, or lime zest.
  • Shake Halfway: Halfway through, shake the basket to unstick chips.
  • Watch for Burning: Monitor chips towards the end to avoid burning.
  • Cool Before Eating: Let chips cool after cooking to increase crispness.
