Scale
Ingredients
- 6 large tortillas
- Cooking spray
- Salt, to taste
- Your choice of cookie cutter for shape
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the tortilla chips evenly.
- Cut the tortillas: Using your favorite cookie cutter, cut the large tortillas into desired shapes. This step allows you to customize the size and form of your chips for a fun presentation.
- Prepare baking sheet: Arrange the tortilla pieces flat on a baking sheet. Lightly spray them with cooking spray to promote crispiness during baking, then sprinkle salt evenly over the pieces for flavor.
- Bake the chips: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning; chips should be golden and crispy once done.
- Serve: Remove the tortilla chips from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dips like salsa, guacamole, or queso.
Notes
- Make sure not to overlap the tortilla pieces on the baking sheet for even baking.
- Use whole wheat or corn tortillas for a different flavor and texture.
- Adjust salt quantity according to your taste or dietary needs.
- For an extra kick, sprinkle some chili powder or paprika before baking.
- Watch chips carefully in the oven as they can burn quickly near the end of baking time.
