Homemade Tortilla Chips: A Recipe


We've had some great topics lately for discussion! I hope you've been enjoying them and reflecting on your own thoughts about them.

But for a moment, let's step away from the desk or the reading chair and hop over to the kitchen, shall we?

I've been on a salty-crunchy craze lately. Normally I'm a sweets girl, but these days I can't get enough of chips and popcorn and the like. So in an effort to use up some old Trader Joe's tortilla wraps one day, I decided to try making my own tortilla chips. They were fantastic and SO easy! Ready for the steps?

1. Cut tortillas into strips or triangles and place on a baking sheet.

2. Melt a few tablespoons of butter and brush the chips with the melted butter.

3. Sprinkle on your favorite seasonings and/or salt. (I used paprika and several others that I don't remember--I just kept pulling out spices and shaking them on!)

4. Bake in an oven at 375 degrees for about 7-9 minutes.

That's all there is to it! These would taste great with any type of dip (like Spinach-Artichoke...mmm!) or just by themselves. Enjoy!

  1. While on a (rather strict) diet, I used this exact same technique but replaced the butter with zero calorie cooking spray. I liked it so much, I've continued to make these chips (rather than buy bagged chips) even after I left the diet program!

  2. That sounds even easier (and healthier). Thanks for the tip!
