Baked Corn Tortilla Chips

Baked corn tortilla chips are a healthier alternative to fried chips because they're baked instead of deep-fried. Making them is simple and easy, with just three ingredients: flour tortillas, vegetable oil, and salt. They can be eaten right out of the oven or stored in an airtight container for later use. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or something to serve at your next party, this recipe will fit the bill!

Ingredients

8 Corn Tortillas
2 Tablespoons Oil Vegetable or Canola
1 Teaspoon Kosher or Sea Salt

Instructions

Separate the tortillas and lay them flat on a cutting board.
Brush the tops of the tortillas with oil using a silicone brush.
Sprinkle the tortillas with salt, then flip them over and repeat on the other side.
Use a pizza cutter to cut the tortillas into sixths.
Place the tortilla pieces on a baking sheet and bake them at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes, turning half way. Keep an eye on your chips, as ovens bake differently.
Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely. If your chips are not crispy enough, place them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, but keep an eye on them so they don't burn!

Notes

If your chips are chewy and not crispy, cook them a little longer or set them under the broiler for a minute or two.
All ovens bake differently, so keep an eye on your chips so that they don't over bake and burn.
For extra flavor, spritz lime juice over the chips or sprinkle with ground cumin before baking.
