Ingredients
Scale
Tortilla Chips
- 6 small corn tortillas
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the chips evenly.
- Cut the Tortillas: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each corn tortilla into 6 to 8 evenly sized wedges to form chip-sized pieces.
- Toss with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the tortilla wedges with olive oil, salt, and if desired, garlic powder and chili powder, tossing until all pieces are evenly coated for consistent flavor and crispiness.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned tortilla wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to ensure they bake evenly without sticking.
- Bake the Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through the baking time to promote even crisping and golden edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet; once cooled, enjoy them with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dip.
Notes
- Monitor the chips closely during the last few minutes of baking to avoid burning.
- For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle the chips with lime zest or smoked paprika immediately after baking.
- Store any leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
