ingredients
- 10 ounces corn tortillas (roughly 10 small tortillas)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- 1/2 lime, juiced, optional
- Seasonings of choice
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. To prepare: Slice corn tortillas into wedges. I like to slice tortillas into quarters, and then slice the quarters in half. Place wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Mix olive oil with lime juice (optional). Using a basting brush, brush wedges with a very, very light layer of olive oil. Flip wedges over and brush other sides with a very, very light layer of olive oil. NOTE: Too much olive oil can cause the chips to not crisp up in the oven! No oil can cause the same problem too! A little oil is perfect.
Step 3
To bake: Bake chips for 8-10 minutes until crispy. No need to flip the chips in the oven. Salt and season chips immediately out of the oven. Be generous with the salt! Repeat for consecutive batches. Best served immediately (with salsa, guacamole or pico!).
Step 4
To store: Store extras in a Ziploc bag. Over time, the chips will lose a bit of their crispiness.
Step 5
Seasoning options: garlic powder, onion powder, Mexican seasoning blend, smoked paprika, chili powder, etc!
