These homemade tortilla chips take a little extra time to make, but I promise you that the extra effort is worth it!  This is a recipe that kids can help make!   I have always loved the freshly-made salty, oily, and warm tortilla chips you get from restaurants. These chips taste amazing on their own.  You can also make them into Nachos, Dunk them in your favorite southwestern dips, serve them with your favorite salsa or guacamole and sprinkle them over chili and soups.

Your family will love these restaurant-style tortilla chips!  All you need to do to make these made from scratch tortilla chips is cut any tortilla, brush with oil, and bake!  The instructions are easy!

All you need are three simple ingredients

Corn tortillas

Sea salt

Canola Oil – You can use another oil such as corn oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, or another oil with a high-heat smoke point.  If you are trying to cut down the calories, you can also use the cooking spray when making these.  

Optional seasonings:  I tend to be a traditionalist for tortilla chips, but I encourage you to get creative with herbs!  You can add garlic powder, chili powder, taco seasoning, nutritional yeast, or lime zest to your homemade tortilla chips.

Equipment needed

baking sheet, parchment paper, tongs.

All you need to do is: Preheat oven to 350 degrees f Cut corn tortilla into triangles brush the tortilla chips with olive oil sprinkle them with sea salt. Bake them in the oven for 10-12 minutes.  Please pay attention to them while they are cooking. Once they’re done cooking, they will overcook fast.  Remove them from the oven. Eat!

I suggest only making enough that you plan on eating.  You can save the leftovers, but they’re the best right when you remove them from the oven. I encourage you to get adventurous with the toppings!  You could try Everything but the Elote seasoning Chili-Lime seasoning Cinnamon and sugar Ranch Seasoning.

If you are gluten-free, you will make sure you use corn tortillas for this recipe. Also, make sure to use oil with a high smoke point. I love these chips. I may never buy bagged tortilla chips ever again.

I love this recipe because you can control the portion size, sodium, and how much oil to use. You may want to blot them with a paper towel if they are too oily when you remove them from the oven.
