Crispy Baked Tortilla Chips

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Tortilla Chips.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for some delicious homemade tortilla chips.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take a stack of corn tortillas—about 5 or 6—and cut them into 8 wedges.

3. Step 3

   This will give you the perfect chip shape! Next, lay those tortilla wedges out in a single layer on rimmed baking sheets, making sure they have a little space to breathe.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s add some zesty flavor! In a spray bottle, mix together fresh lime juice and vegetable oil, giving it a good shake to combine.

5. Step 5

   Lightly mist the tops of your tortilla wedges until they’re just a bit moist; this will help the seasoning stick.

6. Step 6

   In a small bowl, blend together ground cumin, chili powder, and salt.

7. Step 7

   Sprinkle this flavorful mix evenly over your chips, ensuring every bite is packed with taste.

8. Step 8

   Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 7 minutes.

9. Step 9

   When the time’s up, carefully take the sheets out and flip the chips over.

10. Step 10

    Give them another light mist with the lime juice and oil mixture, and if you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle on a bit more seasoning.

11. Step 11

    Return the chips to the oven, rotating the pans and switching racks as needed, and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Keep a close eye on them; you want them to be lightly browned and crispy, not burnt! Once they’re done, take them out and let them cool for a few moments.

13. Step 13

    As they cool, they’ll become even crispier, making them irresistible.

14. Step 14

    Serve your homemade tortilla chips with your favorite salsa or dip, and enjoy the delightful crunch and flavor!.
