Howdy, Pardner! Tortillas Chips (Baked)

"I had a package of eight locally made corn tortillas on hand that had torn in half and didn't know what to do with them-chilaquiles, tortilla soup, migas...? Then I remembered a sweet/salty popcorn recipe I recently tried and was thus inspired to test a sweet/salty combination with the tortillas. The cinnamon plays a very minor supporting role. The other choice was which smoked salt to use: hickory, Salish/alder, Durango? In the end I settled on Durango. You can if you wish add a little more of the smoked salt but if you add too much the chips will taste like the inside of an outdoor BBQ/grill. Therefore, I wanted to err on the side of caution."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut the tortillas in half. Each half cut into triangles.
  • Place the tortilla triangles in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the salt, chipotle powder, sugar, cinnamon and oil.
  • Toss well with a fork until the tortilla triangles are evenly coated with the seasonings and oil.
  • Place the triangles singly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake about 15 minutes, turning the chips and rotating the baking sheet every 5 minutes. Due to the sugar content, you'll need to watch the chips carefully so they don't burn.
  • Remove from oven, cool briefly and transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Enjoy!
  • Note: the chips will crisp up further once they cool.
  • To store, place in a Ziploc-type plastic bag or covered container.
  • Servings are estimated.

  1. This are really tasty! I baked only two tortias and I cut them before hand with a pizza cutter which worked really well. I used Pam, spraying the tortias and then sprinkling the seasonings and sugar over them. I also baked them on bakers parchment paper. Made for Veg 'N swap tag.
