Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or prepare a deep skillet with oil for frying over medium heat if you prefer fried chips.
In a blender or food processor, combine the spinach, cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Blend until you have a smooth paste.
Lightly brush each tortilla with the spinach-cilantro mixture on one side, ensuring an even coating for all tortillas.
Stack the coated tortillas and cut them into chip shapes (triangles or any preferred shape).
If baking, place the tortilla pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Brush the remaining oil lightly over the chips, then sprinkle with salt and garlic powder for seasoning.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are crispy and lightly golden on the edges. If frying, cook the chips in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until crisp, then remove and drain on paper towels.
Cool the chips completely to ensure maximum crunch, then serve with your favorite dip or salsa.
