I began making my own tortillas chips a couple of months ago. It sounds complicated and there are a couple of different methods to doing this, but I am going to share with you the method I use that is fast and delicious.
Homemade Tortilla Chips
1 pkg. of 8" flour tortillas (or corn if you prefer)
1/4 c. of coconut oil (olive oil tastes delicious as well!)
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. of black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Serves 4 @ $.88
Mango-Avocado Salsa
2 large ripe Hass avocados
2 large ripe mangoes
dash of kosher salt
dash of pepper
1/4 tsp. of lime juice
Serves 4 @ $1.30
Total Cost: $2.19 per serving
For making the tortillas, spray large baking sheet with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take the tortillas from their package and keep them stacked up perfectly straight. Take a large knife and cut them into 8 equal pieces. This will produce approximately 80 chips! Line them out on the baking sheet, alternating directions so they form a straight row. Take a kitchen brush and lightly coat the top of the tortilla triangles with either coconut or olive oil. In a separate bowl, mix together the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle this mixture over each tortilla chip. Bake chips for 12-13 minutes. They should be firm and crispy, but without a greasy appearance.
While the chips are baking, dice avocados and mangoes and mix together with salt, pepper and lime juice. Eat together with tortilla chips!
Enjoy this healthy, wonderful snack without the fat associated with store-bought tortilla chips. You will never want to buy tortilla chips again!
