Homemade Tortilla Chips Baked or Fried  

August 7, 2008 | By john | No Comments »

Making homemade tortilla chips is easy – and you can make them the traditional way, or baked for a healthy alternative! You can then actually make nachos even if you’re on a diet! If you are going to make them the traditional way – it’s pretty easy:

You just need the following to get started:

  • 25 Corn Tortillas
  • 2 ½ Cups Oil (if frying)

Cut tortilla chips up into quarters with a knife. You can usually cut several at once, one on top of the other. Place the oil in a large saucer and place on med-high or about 350 degress (if you’re using a fryer). Use canola or peanut oil for best results. Place your tortilla slices into the hot oil and remove when brown (don’t overcook). Place chips on a plate covered with paper towel to dab grease away. Salt and serve.

If you want to go health or you’re on a diet, just cut the tortillas into quarters, and then place on a baking tray on 400 degrees and check in 5 minutes to see if they are crunchy. If not, give them a few more minutes. Remove from oven, salt, and eat!!

Tip:
If you want to add salt, add it as soon as the chips come out of the oil so it will stick better!
