Homemade Tortilla Chips

Most commercially-prepared tortilla chips are salty. Try this recipe to make your own chips. They will taste better because they are freshly prepared and you can control the level of saltiness. This recipe makes 36 chips.

PREPARE
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 
INGREDIENTS
6 corn tortillas
1T olive oil
Salt to taste (optional)
 
DIRECTIONS
Brush both sides of each tortilla. Place the tortillas in a stack. Cut three times to create triangle shaped pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
 
Note: if using two pans, rotate the pans after about 7 minutes to ensure evenness of baking.
 
Allow chips to cool before eating.
