On Saturday my family is getting together. We are having a pizza and potluck dinner. I am bringing a few fresh veggies and chips and salsa. I’m bringing my home canned salsa. So I figured I’d try making the tortilla chips too. I made a batch yesterday to try them out. Very good!! And so simple. They are really good fresh out of the oven and still warm.
I have to make more yet for the gathering. I haven’t decided if I will make them at home or wait and make them at my parents’ house so they are really fresh. This is a good base recipe. It’ll be fun to experiment with various seasoning. Maybe someday I’ll try making my own tortillas. Then the chips would really be homemade 🙂 I got the recipe from Food Network.
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil (I used canola)
Fine salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil (I just brushed one side and figured some would rub off on the next one as I stacked them :). Stack the tortillas and cut the pile into sixths to make chips. Spread the chips out in a single layer on two large baking sheets and season with salt. Bake until golden brown and crisp, rotating the baking sheets once, about 12 to 15 minutes (Mine took 10-12 minutes).
These look great, Mary! When my family does homemade tortilla chips, they’re done the day before the party and then kept in a large brown paper grocery bag, folded over. It keeps them very fresh tasting.
