Baked Tortilla Chips
Description
This recipe starts by preheating the oven to 350°F. Corn tortillas are lightly sprayed on both sides with oil to encourage browning and crispness while baking. The tortillas are then cut into triangular chip shapes, arranged in a single layer on cookie sheets, and sprinkled with sea salt. Baking for 5 to 7 minutes on each side allows the chips to develop a light golden color and crunch without burning.
The result is a crispy chip that retains some tender layers from the tortilla, providing a familiar, sturdy texture for scooping dips or enjoying alone. Spraying rather than frying reduces fat content while still achieving the crispy edges typical of tortilla chips.
These chips should be served immediately to enjoy their maximum crispness. The simple ingredients and straightforward technique make them a practical homemade snack or accompaniment to salsa and guacamole.
Ingredients
- 12 corn tortilla
- olive oil spray corn or olive oil
- salt sea salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly spray both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray.

- Bake for 5-7 minutes, then flip the chips and bake on the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- If you don’t have cooking spray or an oil mister, you can use a pastry brush dipped in oil to coat the tortillas evenly.
- Arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet to promote even baking and crispness.
- Serve the chips immediately after baking for the best texture, as they may soften over time.
