Vegan Tortilla Chips
Description
The recipe begins by preheating the oven and preparing baking sheets with parchment paper. Corn tortillas are stacked and cut into quarters (or sixths for larger tortillas) using a pizza cutter for clean, uniform pieces. The tortilla pieces are arranged in a single layer on the baking sheets.
Each chip is brushed lightly with lime juice and sprinkled with sea salt and garlic powder if desired. Baking at a high temperature crisps the chips evenly; they are monitored closely towards the end to avoid burning, as the chips can quickly become overdone. The lime provides a fresh acidity that enhances the corn flavor, while the garlic powder adds subtle depth.
The finished chips have a crisp texture and balanced seasoning, making them suitable for dips, salsas, or as a snack on their own. The recipe notes specify using six-inch tortillas cut into quarters for the best chip size, but adjustments can be made for different tortilla sizes.
Watch the chips carefully near the end of baking and set timers to prevent over-browning. The chips can be stored once cooled or served immediately for optimal freshness.
Ingredients
- 8 ix inch corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons lime juice approx. 1 large lime
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Stack the corn tortillas in an even pile on a cutting board. Then use a pizza cutter to slice them into four quarters. (If using larger wraps, slice into six pieces instead.)
- Arrange the cut tortilla chips in an even layer on your baking sheets. Then brush each one with lime juice and evenly sprinkle with salt and garlic powder, if using.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, checking often towards the end of cooking. You want them golden brown and crispy, but not overly done.
Notes
- Use six-inch corn tortillas and cut each into four quarters for ideal chip size and crispness.
- If using larger tortillas, cut into six pieces to maintain manageable chip portions.
- Monitor closely towards the end of baking, as chips can quickly go from perfectly crisp to overdone.
- Set an oven timer or reminders to check chips frequently to avoid burning.
