You are going to love how easy these homemade tortilla chips are. I make these often for my family when I have extra tortillas to use up in the fridge. If you have been wondering how to make chips with tortillas this is the recipe for you.
What I love most about this recipe is that the chips are baked, not fried creating a slightly healthier chip.One of my favorite snacks is chips and salsa. I like make my own salsa, especially in the summer months. This Restaurant Style Salsa, Avocado Tomatillo Salsa and this Avocado Tomatillo Salsa are my go-to recipes. Of course you could also pair these chips with this Easy Guacamole Recipe.
I also love using homemade tortilla chips in chilaquiles rojos recipe or in my nacho recipes like these Beef Nachos or as a dipper for this delicious Beef Taco Dip.
Recipe Ingredients
These simple pantry staples are all you need. See the recipe card below for exact amounts and printable instructions.
- Tortillas: I like to use small corn tortillas (6 inch works well). You can use either white or yellow corn tortillas. You also can use flour tortillas but baking time varies with those.
- Avocado oil or olive oil
- Spices: garlic powder and chipotle chili powder
Recipe Modifications
- Smoky: I love smoky flavors. If you do too try smoky chili powder, cumin and lime zest.
- Spice Rub: Try sprinkling your favorite rub on the chips. Rubs that you typically use for meats tend to have a variety of really good flavors in them that would pair nicely on chips. Sometimes rubs can have add salt so you may want to check before adding salt yourself.
- Spicy: If you like spicy try sprinkling cayenne red pepper on your chips or even crushed red pepper.
- Citrus: Lime juice is a nice addition to the flavor of chips. I would add 1 tablespoons of lime juice over the finished chips. The easiest thing to do is lightly squeeze the lime over the chips. Just remember you will lose some of the crispiness of the chips with too much lime juice.
How to Make Homemade Tortillas
Preheat the oven to 350F. Cut the tortillas into triangles.
Whisk together the oil, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Use your hands to very gently toss in the corn tortilla wedges to coat.
Arrange the tortilla wedges on a large baking sheet (a little bit of overlap is ok, but try to spread them out in a single layer if possible).
Bake until crisp, rotating the baking sheets once, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with your favorite dip.
Storage Tips
If you don’t store your chips in a tightly sealed container your chips will go stale quickly. Store in a covered container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
