Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Chapati Chips

Step 2: Air-Fry to Crispy Perfection

1. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 3 minutes.

2. Mix in the chopped onion, tomato, green chili, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
3. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the crispy chapati chips on a plate and serve with a generous bowl of guacamole. Dip, crunch, and savor the magic of this snack!
