Homemade Flour Tortilla Chips


One thing you should know about my family is that we LOVE chips and salsa... especially my  husband. So, today while I was out at the store.. I forgot to buy more tortilla chips *sigh*. Instead of making another trip out to the store I figured I would try and make some homemade chips since I had extra tortillas laying around from when I made fajitas. 

All the stuff you need!

Lay them out on a baking sheet

Spray each side of the tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

This is what they turn out like if you cook them at too high of a temperature

This is how they look when you cook them at the RIGHT temperature

Delicious bowl of chips!

These turned out SO yummy. They were definitely different than a corn tortilla chip.. but they were light and crunchy and oh so delicious. Also.. they were extremely easy to make. Instead of all this nonsense lets just get to the good stuff!

Ingredients:
  • 1 pack of tortillas
  • cooking spray
  • salt
  • pepper if you want
Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°. If you try a higher temp.. they will burn quick.. trust me.. I tried.
  2. Cut up your tortillas with a big knife. Some people cut them into 4s I cut mine into 6 or 7s.. all depends on what you want to do.
  3. Lay them out on a baking sheet. 
  4. Spray them with cooking spray and salt and pepper them. Flip them over and spray again and salt and pepper.
  5. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. They honestly don't need any longer than that. I think if you wanted to do it for 6 minutes they would be a little extra brown. 
  6. Serve with salsa or whatever dip you would like.. or nothing at all! 
ENJOY! 
Thanks for reading!
