Notes
- Each tortilla is one serving to give you 4-6 chips each.
- Be sure to cut the tortillas into equally sized wedges so that they bake evenly.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tortillas with oil or cooking spray, this will provide even coverage and help prevent them from burning.
- Make sure that you spread the chips out in a single layer on your baking sheet or air fryer basket when you place them in the oven, this will help ensure that they bake evenly.
- Watch them closely while they are cooking, as they can burn quickly.
- Don't skip the oil on the chips, this is what gives the nice and crispy exterior.
- You can use any type of favorite healthy fats to crisp these tortilla chips, use canola oil, olive oil, avocado oil, or even melted coconut oil if you are making a sweet tortilla chip.
