Homemade Tortilla Chips Ingredients Making tortilla chips at home is so easy with just six ingredients: TortillasThis recipe calls for corn tortillas, but you could also use flour tortillas. Lime JuiceLime juice adds a hint of tartness. Vegetable OilThe oil will ensure the chips get crispy without burning. SpicesThis recipe calls for salt, cumin, and chili powder for a flavor zing. How to Make Tortilla Chips You'll find the full step-by-step recipe below, but here's what you can expect when making baked tortilla chips: Cut the Tortillas Cut the tortillas into triangles — you should be able to get about eight chips out of each tortilla. Season the Chips Add lime juice and oil to a spray bottle and spray each chip. You can also brush the oil and lime juice mixture with a pastry brush. Sprinkle each chip with the spices. Bake the Chips Bake the chips, flipping and re-seasoning halfway through. Make sure to check them often so they don't burn. How to Store Tortilla Chips Homemade tortilla chips are best eaten the day they are made (and even better when they're still warm). But you can store them in a zip-top bag or airtight container at room temperature for one to two days. Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "The hubby and I loved these! I was in the middle of making asada tacos and realized we did not have chips. Looked this up and did it! Pretty quick, few ingredients and can easily be altered to your liking," says ABauers. "We didn't do the full time baking because the notes even say don't let it get to brown. Every person's oven is different so if it's your first time making them check the last 4 mins to see how they are doing" "Great! This was so easy and so much yummier and healthier than store bought chips. Just watch the time closely...they can get dark faster on the 2nd batch," according to fabulousfarmer. "Very good and easy! Paired it with the Fresh Tomato Salsa from this site and it was fantastic," raves melindakay. Editorial contributions by Bailey Fink Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops!
