I try not to buy a lot of snack foods, specifically chips. When there’s a bag of tortilla chips in the house, I tend to make nachos. A lot of nachos.
When I want to satisfy my craving for something crunchy and salty, I whip up a batch of homemade tortilla chips.
One of my favorite things about these chips is how they can be customized to suit any mood or meal. You can switch out the savory spices for sweet ones to make dessert nachos. You can skip the spice and use Italian seasonings for a fun twist.
homemade tortilla chips
(this recipe can be adapted to suit your ingredients and taste. For example, I usually use only one tortilla, but for a crowd you might use several. In addition, the cooking spray could be replaced with any kind of oil)
2 tortillas (I prefer flour; whatever your favorite is will work)
cooking spray
salt
spices of choice (sometime I use only salt; often, I add chili powder and garlic powder, too)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray each side of each tortilla with cooking spray. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut each tortilla into eight triangles. Transfer triangles to a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Add any additional spices you’d like.
Bake for 6-10 minutes, or until chips are beginning to brown. These are delicious served warm, but they’re good at room temperature, too.
What seasonings will you top your tortilla chips with?
I love this! I can use my corn tortillas since I am gluten-free…so excited!
Thanks, Dana! I make them with corn tortillas sometimes, too. Either way, they’re delicious!
These look great! Shared on Twitter and look forward to trying them!
Thank you for the comment and for the share, Kirsten!
These look so delicious!
Thank you, Beth!
I regularly make dessert chips w/ cinnamon and sugar. Sometimes I serve them with apple slices and caramel drizzle. It’s a favorite family dessert!
Yum! I’m in need of something sweet tonight, so I might give that a try! Thanks for the idea!
I love this idea! I’ve always wondered how to make them myself. I pinned it to try later.
Thanks, Stephanie! They’re so tasty and they couldn’t be easier to make. Let me know what you think of the way they turn out!
I love making my own tortilla chips! I like to experiment a bit with spices. My husband asks me to make them all the time.
My husband was skeptical the first time I made chips for him, but he’s definitely a believer now. I love playing around with new spice combinations, too 🙂
These look great! Will have to make a batch!
Thank you! Let me know how they turn out!
YUM! I’ve never even thought to make my own, and these look so good! And I agree, whenever we have chips, we make nachos! 🙂
Thank you, Shauna! You should definitely try them… they make great nachos!
Wow, this is one to bookmark, pin, and save! Thanks!
Thanks, Helena! Have a great Wednesday!
We have got into a bit of a habit eating nacho’s….pretty much every weekend….oops!
Love this idea….super tasty 🙂
It’s a weekly occurrence for me, too, if I keep them in the house. When I make my own, I usually end up eating them with salsa. A much healthier option!
Ooo, I’ve never tried making my own tortilla chips, but I love that these are baked (and also how simple it is! <3!)! 😀 Definitely gonna have to try this out sometime!
Thanks, Farrah! I feel so much less guilt eating them because they’re baked. Let me know what you think when you make them!
This recipe looks tasty. I have loads of tortillas at home and may even try this. Thanks for a customizable recipe!
Thank you, Zan! This is a great way to use up tortillas! I hope you try it, and I hope you let me know what you think of it!
What a great idea!!! I just bought a ton of tortillas, so I’m definitely going to try this!
Thanks, Julie! Let me know how you like them!
What a great idea to make your own tortilla chips. Sounds great and simple. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Thanks, Charlene! They’re so good and so easy.
YUM! I used to make some similar and then got lazy. You’ve inspired me to try again!
I’m glad- homemade tortilla chips are so good!
