Corn Tortilla Chips
Description
This Corn Tortilla Chips recipe uses twelve corn tortillas sprayed or brushed uniformly with vegetable or preferred oil. The tortillas are cut into chip-sized shapes and arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even baking. A sprinkle of kosher salt adds savory seasoning.
Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes yields chips with edges beginning to brown and a firm, crispy texture. Careful monitoring of the first batch is recommended to adjust baking time according to oven variances and prevent dryness. The chips bake evenly when spread without overlapping or touching.
After baking, the chips can be cooled and stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks, maintaining their crispness. These homemade chips serve well with dips like salsa, guacamole, or queso, or as a crunchy addition to salads and snacks.
