Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips


Am I driving you nuts yet with this whole tortilla business??? I've seriously been  in a tortilla kick. February has become the month of the tortilla. You know when you get a new "toy all you want to do is play around with it for an endless amount of time. It's like that with the tortilla. Sad isn't it? 

When I started making my own, I couldn't just stop at making burritos and tacos. I decided to make some chips as well. These are the plain unsalted kind. As much as I like the store bought stuff they can get a bit flimsy and sometimes have too much salt stuck on them. These are healthier, not oily and definitely sturdy for good dippage. I cut the tortillas into quarters. I saw them served like that once when I went to a Brazillian restaurant. Thought it was neat idea. Baked them in a 400˚F preheated oven and baked for 10 minutes. Just until they for slightly brown and was definitely crispy. Serve them as is. I had this with some fresh guacamole. Definitely holds the dip well than those flimsy ones. It has a good crunch, too.

An excellent culmination of Tortilla Month! Sometimes, I don't want a messy (the way I eat them) taco or burrito, and dipping into salsa and guacamole - especially homemade - is the way to go.

I've been eating a lot of avocado's lately. And I always make my own chips. I deep fry them and I should try yours which are far healthier.

Nice. I've been sitting on a big bag of masa waiting to make tortillas and this is one of the reasons. I love homemade chips.

Hahaha you are hilarious!

Okay, fine. You've sold me on the tortilla. I'm going to do it! Maybe attempt homemade taquitos?

Or maybe just a quesadilla for the first round. :)

Yummy! These remind me of Stacy's Baked Pita Chips. I know they are tortillas but that is what it reminded me of when I saw them :)

Jen @ My Kitchen Addiction said...

I still need to make my own tortillas... and then I need to make some baked tortilla chips. I think they'd be sooooooo good with bean dip.

Preparing Tortillas is as easier as when you make rice and it taste better if you do yourself.
