🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 10 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat up oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C) if frying.

2. Stack the corn tortillas on a cutting board and slice them into 6 wedges each to create triangular chips.

3. If baking the chips, place the tortilla pieces on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Brush the tortillas with olive oil on both sides.

4. In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.

5. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the tortilla pieces, ensuring each chip is well-coated.

6. For baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.

7. For frying: Carefully lower the tortilla pieces into the hot oil in batches, cooking for about 1-2 minutes per batch or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

8. Once cooked, let the chips cool slightly before serving. Serve them with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or queso dip. Enjoy!
