How to Make Tortilla Chips

These homemade Tortilla Chips are made by brushing tortillas with olive oil, cutting them into chip-sized pieces, seasoning with salt, and baking until crisp. The resulting chips have a light crunch and a fresh flavor, suitable for serving alongside dips or as a snack.

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.
