Homemade baked tortilla chips (made with olive oil) will be your new healthy snacking addiction! Eating a whole bag of chips and salsa or guacamole is about to be way less regretful: they’re much healthier than store-bought ones! Warm baked tortilla chips sprinkled with your favorite seasonings right out of the oven…WOW.

This weekend is game day! You’ll catch me watching the Buffalo Bills vs. Patriots game munching on these nervously. I may need to bring out the big guns (my calzone recipe) to soften the blow. HA!

  • Extra virgin olive oil – olive oil is a healthy oil that will help your tortilla chips crisp up in the oven.
  • Salt – salt and tortilla chips go hand-in-hand.
  • Lime juice (optional) – a little lime juice mixed into your olive oil will flavor your chips!
  • Seasonings of choice (optional) – choose a seasoning that you love and sprinkle it on your chips, hot out of the oven.

Ingredients

  • 10 small corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt
  • ½ lime, juiced optional
  • Seasonings of choice optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice corn tortillas into wedges. I like to slice tortillas into quarters, and then slice the quarters in half.
  • Place wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Mix olive oil with lime juice (optional). Using a basting brush, brush wedges with a very light layer of olive oil. Flip wedges over and brush other sides with a very light layer of olive oil.
  • Bake chips for 8-10 minutes until crispy. No need to flip the chips in the oven.
  • Salt and season chips (with seasoning of choice) immediately out of the oven. Be generous with the salt!
  • Repeat for consecutive batches. Best served warm (with salsa or guac!).
  • Store extras in an airtight container. Over time, the chips will lose a bit of their crispiness.

Notes

Too much olive oil can cause the chips to not crisp up in the oven! No oil can cause the same problem too! A little oil is perfect.
