Making Tortilla Chips From Scratch

Tortilla chips are a favorite of ours to snack on (especially with homemade salsa and dipping in easy chili!), we just love them! But what don’t I love? That $5 price tag for our favorite brand of chips! With the chips running low, I set off to create our own homemade tortilla chips from scratch, with a much lower price point.

Besides the yummy taste of a crunchy homemade tortilla chip, making your own allows you to experiment with flavors.  You get to mix and match! You can try a bunch of different flavors instead of just picking one flavor in the store.   At the bottom of the post I’m including some different seasonings for you to try.

I hope you’ll try to make your own tortilla chips at home!

First cut the tortillas in half.

Now gather your pile of cut up tortillas and put them on a baking sheet.

IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ.  To get the tortilla chips to bake crispy you need to make sure there is at least 1/4 inch in between each one.  If they are closer than this, or overlapping, they won’t be crunchy.

Now sprinkle some salt on each one.

Throw them  in the oven and keep a eye on them.  They should take 8-10 minutes until the edges turn brown.  Mine took about 9 minutes.  Watch them for every minute after 7 minutes. These will burn quickly so be on tortilla chip alert! 🙂

Tip: Different Flavors To Try

Cinnamon Sugar – Mix cinnamon and sugar together on top
Parmesan Cheese – Add grated Parmesan on top
Mexican Flavor – Add a sprinkle of cumin and shredded cheddar cheese on top

My favorite besides traditional salt is cinnamon sugar. They’re perfect for my sweet tooth.

    Never buying a bag of chips again sounds great. I’m already thinking of the things I can buy with the money I will save.

    So, maybe this would slow down my incessant eating of tortilla chips, if I have to MAKE them first. Great idea!

    If you think corn tortillas are good with the cinnamon and sugar, try it with flour tortillas and use a homemade cherry pie filling as a dipping sauce.
