These are quick to make and are good to snack on, add to salads or to top a soup. The original recipe is from epicurious. You can use less oil than is shown and still have great results. Yield shown in recipe is a guesstimate.

7 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or ground red pepper
12 6-inch corn tortillas
salt
Tabasco sauce, to taste (if you like them spicy!)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
Stir oil and all spices together.
3
Brush one side of all the tortillas with oil/spice mixture.
4
Make 3 stacks of 4 tortillas and cut the tortillas into 1/4-1/2" strips.
5
Put strips in a single layer on a couple of cookie sheets sprayed with Pam.
6
Bake until golden and crisp, about 10-15 minutes.
7
(If pans are on different oven racks switch their positions about halfway through baking.).
8
Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt.
9
Cool completely in pans.

YUM!!! I, too, have been trying to make more healthy snacks at home. These are delicious!! I made them just as the recipe said with olive oil. I'll serve them with chicken tortilla soup and just snack on them. So easy and so much flavor. Thanks for a keeper of a recipe!

These were pretty good. I changed the seasoning around a bit and spritzed them with oil instead. I think they could've been a little better in texture though. Next time, I'll try them your way and tweak the oven temp. Served them with a cauliflower bisque.

When cut really thin, these can be sprinked on a salad with some mandarin oranges. Makes a healthy asian salad and these strips are a much healthier alternative than the deep fried wonton wraps they use!

These were great! I forgot to put the salt on at the end though, but I still loved them. I sprinkled them over The Best Tortilla Soup by Lorenlou (#85800)and it was delicious! Watch them closely to ensure they don't burn. I used flour tortillas. Awesome!
