Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Ten 5- to 6-inch white corn tortillas
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the vegetable oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Arrange the tortillas on a clean work surface. Using a pastry brush or a silicone brush, lightly brush the tortillas with the lime spice mixture. Be sure to just lightly coat the tortillas in the mixture; do not oversaturate them. Flip over the tortillas and lightly coat the other side as well.
  • Stack the tortillas and cut them in half, then cut each half into 3 chip-size wedges (6 wedges per tortilla). Transfer the wedges to 2 rimmed baking sheets and arrange them in an even layer, making sure not to overlap any. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wedges on both baking sheets.
  • Bake until the chips are golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

I created this soup on a chilly spring evening. It's a light but satisfying vegetarian soup flavored with cumin, oregano, pasilla chile and lime, served with Chihuahua cheese (or another Mexican queso fresco - fresh white cheese). Plus, it's topped with adictive little crispy-fried lime-chili tortilla strips!
