Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 corn tortillas, preferably fresh but slightly firm
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- Optional seasonings: pinch of chili powder, smoked paprika, or garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Stack the tortillas and cut each into 6 or 8 triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Place the tortilla triangles in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Lightly brush each chip with vegetable or olive oil on both sides.
- Sprinkle with salt and any other desired seasonings evenly while the oil is still wet.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through (around 7 minutes) to ensure even crisping.
- Cool completely on a wire rack or paper towels to allow chips to continue crisping.
Notes
Use fresh but firm tortillas for best crispness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even baking. Brush chips lightly with oil to prevent sogginess. Flip chips halfway through baking for even crisping. Cool chips completely before storing to maintain crunch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
