Easy Homemade Tortilla Chips

Toss the bag and make easy homemade tortilla chips! Simple and delicious for all your snack attack needs, and works with both flour and corn tortillas.

I love these super easy homemade tortilla chips with a serious amount of love.

I accidentally made them when I was working on my recipe for chicken chilaquiles and the store-bought kind were just too flimsy to stand up to the sauce.

In desperation (she said dramatically) I decided to create my own out of some corn tortillas I had languishing in my fridge, and since then I’ve been making them out of both corn and flour tortillas on the regular.

Because they are as scrumptious as they are easy, with their fresh baked taste and their more substantial texture.  Because I don’t know about you, but I frequently have the same issue as my fellow blogger Guilty Chocoholic Mama…

…and as with my recipe for homemade potato chips, I find that if you make your own snacks, somehow you eat them a little more mindfully.

Here’s how you make easy homemade tortilla chips!

So here’s the easiness!  Grab a stack of tortillas and use your handy pizza cutter (or your handy serrated knife if you don’t have a pizza cutter) and cut them into wedges.  I usually use 6 inch tortillas and cut them into 8 wedges, but you be you.

Toss the wedges with a little canola oil and lay them in a single layer on a cookie sheet, and sprinkle them with some sea salt.

Now pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes – you want them crisp, and the edges to be just turning golden.

Let them cool off just a bit, and remember that the tortilla chip maker gets the first tortilla.

Or the first 10.
