Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into 6 equal wedges to form triangular chips.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a spice-infused oil mixture.
Place the tortilla wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoned oil mixture over the wedges and toss gently to coat each chip evenly.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the tortilla wedges in a single layer on the baking sheets, ensuring they donβt overlap.
Bake the tortilla chips in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Keep an eye on them to prevent burningβthey should be golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the chips cool on the sheets for 5 minutes; they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve your Howdy Pardner Tortilla Chips warm or at room temperature. Pair them with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or queso for the perfect snack.
