A Healthier Twist on a Classic Snack
Unlike traditional fried tortilla chips that are high in fat and calories, my baked version is a lighter alternative. Each serving of these chips contains just a little over 100 calories, making them a perfect guilt-free treat.
Simple Ingredients, Big Flavor
To create these tasty chips, you’ll need a few simple ingredients:
- Corn tortillas: Gluten-free and packed with fiber and whole grains, corn tortillas are the base for these flavorful chips.
- Olive oil: Used to enhance the crispiness of the chips and help the seasoning stick.
- Spices: Get creative with your seasoning! While I love the combination of cumin and smoked paprika, you can customize the flavors to suit your taste. Add a kick with cayenne pepper or keep it mellow with garlic powder.
Easy Steps to Homemade Crunchiness
- Start by cutting your corn tortillas into triangles. Stack them up and use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter for quicker results.
- Once you have your tortilla triangles ready, place them in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle in your desired seasoning, whether it’s smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, or a combination of your choice.
- Toss the tortilla triangles gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and spices. Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there!
- Arrange the coated chips evenly on a prepared baking sheet and bake them at 350°F for approximately 15 minutes.
- Once golden and crispy, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool. Serve them alongside your favorite salsa or dip, or create a plate of flavorful nachos.
