HOMEMADE CORN TORTILLA CHIPS, EASY CHEAP MEXICAN SNACK FOOD
Corn tortillas (used in making Oaxaca-style quesadillas) are available at international and Latin grocery stores, and if you live in a large Latin-American community like I do then you can find corn tortillas in bags of 20-30 for like $2 or less at major grocery stores. Flour tortillas probably won't work as well for this and definitely won't have the corn flavor and base. Never spend money on premade again! You can also control how large or small you want to make them (and keep them seasoned or not) not to mention salt content if you're watching sodium intake. 32 chips is all I could fit on my convection oven's cookie sheet so feel free to use more tortillas; the methodology is all the same. You won't believe how easy it is to get restaurant-style tortilla chips without any icky unnatural ingredients!

Steps:
- Cover a cookie sheet in foil, and with a pastry or BBQ brush, brush with olive or corn oil and a small sprinkling of kosher salt. (You have to do this or else it won't come out right.).
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees-- make sure the oven rack is in the center.
- Cut each tortilla into 4 equal wedge pieces.
- Brush the pieces with olive/corn oil and lightly sprinkle with the kosher salt.
- Bake for 6-10 minutes until the edges curl, depending on oven strength. Higher altitudes may need to cook for 15 minutes or longer.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes prior to eating.
- Voila, you have natural yummy corn chips without unhealthy preservatives, hydrogenated oils, and whatnot. Serve with your favorite Mexican meal or snack food, a good salsa, or just eat plain. For some variation ideas: Soak in guacamole to make guac chips, brush tomatillo sauce or salsa on to have baked-on salsa, make spicy chips with my all-purpose Mexican seasoning, the possibilities are endless.
Tips:
- Use the right corn tortillas: Look for fresh, high-quality corn tortillas that are not too thick or too thin. If you can, find tortillas made with 100% stone-ground corn.
- Cut the tortillas evenly: Use a sharp knife or a tortilla cutter to cut the tortillas into even wedges. This will help them cook evenly.
- Season the tortilla chips before baking: Sprinkle the tortilla chips with salt, chili powder, and cumin before baking. This will give them a delicious flavor.
- Bake the tortilla chips at a high temperature: Bake the tortilla chips at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) until they are crispy. This will help them stay crispy even after they have cooled.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to spread the tortilla chips out evenly on the baking sheet so that they have enough room to crisp up.
- Watch the tortilla chips closely: Keep an eye on the tortilla chips while they are baking so that you can remove them from the oven as soon as they are crispy. If you bake them for too long, they will become overcooked and hard.
Conclusion:
Making homemade tortilla chips is easy and rewarding. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create delicious, crispy tortilla chips that are perfect for snacking, dipping, or topping your favorite Mexican dishes. So next time you are looking for a crunchy snack, skip the store-bought chips and make your own homemade tortilla chips instead. You won't be disappointed!
