I was so tired of paying a ridiculous amount for 'healthy' baked tortillas. And I always wind up eating the whole bag, lol! And, they aren't always safe for everyone... So I decided to make my own!
Buy or make some corn tortillas that are safe. For me, a bag of 12 corn tortillas runs about $1.38. The cheap chips we can all have (that include some yummy trans fat and are saltier than the sea...), are only a $1 at the Dollar Tree.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the tortillas into 8ths.
Place the cut tortillas onto a baking sheet or glass baking dish. Spray with some Olive Oil. Sprinkle some sea salt, some chili powder if you like, and bake in a 350* oven until slightly brown. I don't time it, though I should. I just check it because it doesn't take long at all! 5 minutes maybe?? Add some salsa, and yum! Fresh, safe, tortilla chips. They'll keep for about 4 days at room temp in an airtight bag.
12 tortillas x 8 sections = 96 chips for a $1.38. Not bad. You could probably do this even cheaper if you looked hard enough!
