Make your own tortilla chips!

There are two basic ways of making tortilla chips:

1. Fried. Cut the corn tortillas into wedges. Put a drizzle of oil in a hot skillet and fry the tortillas turning them over as they brown.

2. Baked. Cut the corn tortillas into wedges. Lay them out ona cookie sheet and brush them lightly with oil. If you want to add seasonings add lime juice and sprinkle with coarse salt, chili powder, pepper, or any other species you may want. Bake at 400F for 10 minutes until they turn golden.

These recipes are perfect for corn tortilla leftovers and to avoid extra-fat commercial tortilla chips.

Enjoy!
