Homemade Tortilla Chips

Steps

   1.

   Heat The Oven** Heat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment.

2. 2.

   Cut The Tortillas

   Stack tortillas and cut into 6 or 8 wedges each, like a pizza. Spread wedges in a single layer on the sheets. Do not overlap or they steam.

   Season

   Brush or toss lightly with oil. Sprinkle salt, chilli powder, garlic powder, cumin, and smoked paprika if using.

   Bake Homemade Tortilla Chips

   Bake 10–12 minutes, flipping once halfway, until edges are golden and centers feel crisp. They firm more as they cool.

   Cool And Finish

   Move to a wire rack. Splash with lime juice if you want a bright note. Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or queso.

   Optional Fry Method

   Heat 2 cm oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Fry wedges in batches 1–2 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels and salt immediately.
