Description

Crispy, golden homemade corn tortilla chips made from just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for dipping, snacking, or topping your favorite dishes.


Ingredients

  • Corn Tortillas: 10 small tortillas
  • Vegetable Oil: 1 cup for frying or 2 tablespoons for baking
  • Sea Salt: 1 teaspoon
  • Lime Wedges: for serving


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F if baking, or heat oil in a pan if frying.
  2. Brush tortillas with oil if baking. If frying, skip brushing and move to slicing.
  3. Cut each tortilla into 6 triangle-shaped wedges.
  4. For baking, arrange wedges on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through. For frying, cook wedges in small batches until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Remove and place on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt while warm.
  6. Cool slightly and serve with fresh lime wedges and your favorite dip.

Notes

  • Store chips in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • Add chili powder, garlic salt, or lime zest for a flavor twist.
  • Cool completely before storing to maintain crispness.
