Baked Tortilla Chips
Description
Baked Tortilla Chips use flour tortillas brushed with an olive oil and lime juice mixture before being cut into triangles and baked until crisp. The application of oil helps the chips brown and develop a slight chew before crisping in the oven, while lime juice adds subtle brightness. The seasoning is minimal with just sea salt, but the notes encourage experimentation with spices like smoked paprika or cayenne for variation.
The baking time is roughly 10-12 minutes at 170°C (325°F), with a turn halfway to promote even crisping. The baking tray type and batch order affect baking speed, so close attention is needed near the end to avoid burning. Flour or corn tortillas can be used based on preference or dietary needs.
These chips pair well with salsas, guacamole, or can be eaten plain. They store well for up to a week in an airtight container, making them a convenient homemade snack alternative.
The notes explain that brushing the oil before cutting helps ease slicing and that adjusting the seasoning is encouraged. Thinner tortillas or darker trays bake faster, so timing must be monitored carefully. The chips crisp up quicker with each new batch due to residual heat in the baking tray.
