HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS (Baked or Fried)
MAKE AMOUNT DESIRED
Homemade tortilla chips are very easy to make and really do taste better than packaged. I prefer to use corn tortillas, but the recipe works with flour tortillas as well. I have included instructions for both baked and fried chips. The baked are, of course, healthier and my favorite, but both are easy, quick and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
- Corn or flour tortillas, 6-inch round, cut into 3 triangles
- Canola or other cooking oil
To bake: Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with oil before cutting. Place the triangles on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes per side. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with salt, if desired. Cool and store in an airtight container.
To fry: Heat about 1/2-inch oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place the triangles into the hot oil in batches and fry until they puff, adjusting heat as needed. Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack; sprinkle with salt.
