Description

Delicious homemade crispy tortilla chips made from corn tortillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 small (6-inch) corn tortillas (yellow or white)
  • Avocado or olive oil spray
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt (more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. You can stack the tortillas and cut several at a time if you have a good sharp knife.
  3. Spray a large baking sheet with oil spray. Spread the tortilla wedges on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. (If they overlap, the overlapped portions will remain chewy instead of crisp.)
  4. Spray the cut tortillas lightly with oil spray and sprinkle with salt.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating pan once. Keep a close eye on them after 12 minutes (check every minute), because they can burn easily.
  6. Take the tortilla chips out when they are dark golden brown. They do need to be golden brown to be crisp, otherwise, they will be chewy. They may look a bit overdone but they taste best that way.

Notes

  • Keep a close watch on the chips while baking to prevent burning.
