Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the tortillas by brushing each one with olive oil on both sides.

  • Cut each tortilla first into halves, then each of the halves into quarters to create four chips per tortilla.

  • Arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This is crucial for even baking and crispiness.
  • Sprinkle sea salt over the chips to taste before baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on your oven and the type of baking sheet used. Monitor the chips to ensure they do not burn.

  • Once baked, allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet. This helps them crisp up further. Serve with your favorite dip or salsa.

Notes

Keep an eye on the chips, especially towards the end of baking, as they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt quickly. Darker baking sheets cook faster than lighter baking sheets.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking process to ensure even cooking.
Arrange the chips in a single layer without overlapping to ensure they bake evenly.
