How to make homemade tortilla chips:
We present the ingredients to use. As you can see, we only need a couple of things and preparing homemade tortilla chips is very simple.
Tortilla chips are a way to take advantage of tortillas that are getting old, so if you want to make them at home too, you can follow the recipe for corn tortillas. To start, we cut the corn tortilla into small triangles.
To make this step easier, we place all the tortillas together, one on top of the other, and cut them first in half, then in quarters and then in eighths. This way you will only need to make four cuts. On the other hand, we spread the tray or the refractory for baking with oil, this only in order that the tortilla chips do not stick, so we recommend using spray oil. You can also use special baking paper. We place our tortilla chips well arranged, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Then, we cook in the oven for 5 minutes at 200°C. After this time we take them out of the oven very carefully, we place them on a serving plate and READY! We can now taste our homemade baked tortilla chips.
I recommend you try this Mexican recipe in the most traditional way, with a little Pico de Gallo and Mexican guacamole. Enjoy!
