Homemade oven baked tortilla chips

Making homemade tortilla chips is so easy and incredibly delicious! You only need 3 ingredients and they are easy to make. They are delicious on their own, but you can certainly vary them or serve with your favorite dips.

Making easy tortilla chips

With this tortilla chips recipe, you can make your own delicious tortilla chips in no time. The easiest way is to use store-bought corn tortillas or flour tortillas and then make chips out of them, but you can also make your own tortilla wraps first and then make chips out of them.

I have to admit that I don’t always make my own tortillas, but when I do, I always make sure that I “accidentally” make a little too much so that I can make delicious tortilla chips out of them.

Tortilla chips from the oven

Making your own (tortilla) chips doesn’t have to be complicated. Besides the few ingredients, there are only a few steps to take. In just a few minutes, you can have your tortilla triangles ready to pop in the oven. In fifteen minutes your own freshly made chips will be ready!

With this recipe you can make natural tortilla chips, but of course you can also add flavorings (like taco seasoning, chili powder or another seasoning blend) or make a dish with them.

Of course, you will want to serve a nice dip with your homemade chips. A classic is a cheesy dip or buffalo chicken dip. My favorites are guacamole and tomato salsa. Of course you can also use store-bought chips, but making your own is quite fun and easy to do. And tastier too.

How to make fried tortilla chips

Now when you have your wraps or tortillas you can use something like a pizza cutter to make tortilla wedges. I usually cut tortillas in 8 wedges but it also depends on the size.

Make a mixture of sea salt, pepper and a little oil and using a pastry brush you can brush the chip on both sides. Now taking a large baking sheet (or use two large baking sheets) you spread them in a single layer. That’s important as otherwise they will not crisp up.

Making nachos

If you really want to make it a party, you can make a nacho casserole (nachos todos!) with your own tortilla chips. These oven nachos are simple but fantastic.

Because even plain or seasoned to your liking, these tortilla chips are already great. It is a delicious snack and so simple. The important thing is not to overcook them. I did that the first time I made them myself and I can tell you that they didn’t taste as good burnt 😉 .

I’m curious how you think they taste, whether you use them plain or make another dish with them? Be sure to let me know, I really like to hear that!
