I give this a 5 for a great idea, but in practice, it was harder than I expected. At this high temperature, you must be vigilant at all times so that the chips don't burn. I have a gas oven, which heats from the bottom, so the chips don't show when they're getting too brown. I ruined 1 tortilla, but the rest were very good. I tried a few variations, but my favorite was sprinkled with a little salt and chili powder. Will make again and try to perfect my method. -
I found this recipe intriguing. I have tried other low fat tortilla chip recipes that have you spray the tortillas with oil, but I had never heard of using water. It worked BEAUTIFULLY! In fact, even my kids preferred these over the ones I made with oil sprayed on them because these were a lot crisper. I will definitely use this method from now on! I used flour tortillas this time, but I'd love to try them with corn tortillas too. Thanks bunches for sharing! I served them with Recipe #241051.
