Bake Corn Tortillas For Chips







Baked tortilla chips are a healthier alternative to fried.


If you are in the mood for a light snack, corn tortilla chips may provide just the crunch you need. Instead of buying bagged chips from the store, consider making your own at home. Homemade tortilla chips take only minutes to prepare. Additionally, making your own chips allows you to control the salt content and experiment with additional spices and flavors. Enjoy your hot, fresh chips straight out of the oven plain or with salsa or guacamole.


Instructions


1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the tortillas with oil on both sides. Stack the oil coated tortillas in one pile. Use the pizza cutter to slice the pile into six sections.


2. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheets. Do not overlap any pieces. Season the slices with the salt and place the sheets in the oven.


3. Bake the chips for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the baking sheets around the sixth or seventh minute to ensure even cooking.
