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.
ingredients need to make your own delicious chips!
Here’s how you make easy homemade tortilla chips!
STEP 1: 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.
STEP 2: 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.
STEP 3: Now pop them in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes – you want them crisp, and the edges to be just turning golden, so watch them for the last few minutes to make sure they aren’t getting too brown.
Let them cool off just a bit, and remember that the tortilla chip maker gets the first tortilla.
Or the first 10.

This is the easiest recipe for such a tasty chip.
I used a sea salt infused with black garlic, turned out amazing. Also broke up some of the chips and tossed into a simple oil and vinegar salad…nice.
Anxious to try the sweet cinnamon version soon.
Oh, I just love your variations – perfect for summer snacking! :)

Tried the sweet version of these chips.
Experimented with flavored sugars…vanilla, maple, with the cinnamon sugar being the best.
I ended up mixing all three chip flavors together.
This recipe has been so much fun.
Ok, now I am heading straight into my kitchen to try your sweet variations – YUM!!!!

Yes!! Homemade tortilla chips are the best! And if you toss them with some cinnamon and sugar after they come out of the oven, they are a great sweet snack. And perfect for dipping in chocolate pudding or a sassy fruit salsa. :)
OH MY GOODNESS. Now I need to go make the sweet version! :)
