How to Make Tortilla Chips
Description
This recipe explains how to transform plain tortillas into crispy chips by applying olive oil on both sides, cutting them into bite-sized pieces, and baking at 375°F for 5 to 10 minutes. The light brushing of oil helps achieve a crisp texture and a golden finish without deep-frying.
Sprinkling with salt before baking adds straightforward seasoning that enhances the natural corn or flour tortilla flavor. Baking in a single layer ensures even crisping.
The chips are ideal served at room temperature with classic dips such as salsa, guacamole, or cheese-based sauces, providing a fresh homemade alternative to store-bought chips.
Ingredients
- 10 tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Brush each side of the tortillas with olive oil.
- Using a sharp knife, cut them into chip-sized pieces.
- Lay out the chips on baking sheets lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Sprinkle the chips with salt.
- Bake at 375°F for 5-10 minutes. Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature for a couple of minutes. Enjoy alongside your favorite dip!
