Healthy Baked Corn Tortilla Chips (Homemade)

Recipe #263512 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

A wonderful healthy snack and a great way to use up leftover corn tortillas. Great with Easy Authentic Guacamole or for making nachos. I vary the toppings on this depending on what I will be serving them with, but lately have just been making them plain. VARIATION: If you need more healthy oils in your diet, brush with olive oil.

SERVES 2 , 20 chips (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 5 corn tortillas (Great Value or Misson brands are Gluten Free)
  • salt (optional, additional spice options listed in directions)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. 2
    Stack tortillas one on top of the other and use kitchen sizzors to cut them into 4 slices like you would cut up a pizza.
  3. 3
    Spread them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet (not air-bake) , spacing them at least 1/4" apart (they will be chewy instead of crispy if not spaced properly). (NOTE: If you must use an air-bake pan, try 350 degrees for 20 minutes.).
  4. 4
    Shake salt and desired toppings over tortillas.
  5. 5
    TOPPING OPTIONS (choose any combo): SPICES: paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder (sparingly), cayenne pepper (sparingly, will add heat!). CHEESES: grated parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, etc. or try SWEET: cinnamon & sugar.
  6. 6
    Bake 8-12 mins or until chips are starting to get crispy and slightly golden brown at the edges (check every 1-2 minutes after 8 mins).
  7. 7
    Remove from oven and let cool 5-10 mins before serving in order to let them fully crispen. Extra Crispy: put back in turned off oven at least 10 mins or until ready to serve for extra crispy and warm chips (watch them, you may need to leave oven door cracked to prevent over browning).

I've tried baking my own chips for years now and without much success. The key is not letting the sides touch. This results is a crispy, yummy tortilla chip. My chips were really brown at 8 minutes so next time I make these I"ll check them earlier. I'll make again. Goes well with "Wonderful Salsa" also on this site.

    I love buying those packages of like 50 corn tortillas for $1! LOL! These make great chips for the kids to munch on! Make sure and keep them in a single layer so they all cook evenly. My son actually prefers these to regular chips in bags (like doritoes). Sometimes I sprinkle on some hidden valley ranch dry mix, taco seasoning mix, etc. Thanks for sharing!

    What an easy, tasty recipe! These came out great - super crunchy, not too salty. I didn't have cayenne on hand so I used paprika for color. I can't wait to try them with a little cayenne and maybe some lime juice. Thank you for posting!
