Equipment

Ingredients

  • Lightly spray a large baking sheet with avocado or other neutral oil.
    avocado oil spray
  • Arrange corn tortillas in a single pile on cutting board. Cut pile of tortillas first in half and then cut each half in three equal sized triangles, resulting in 6 small triangles each.
    8 8-10" corn tortillas
  • Place tortilla pieces in a single layer on baking sheet with plenty room (better to do in batches than to overcrowd) and spray lightly over tortillas with avocado oil.
  • Bake for 8 minutes and then flip pieces over.
  • Bake for additional 7-9 minutes, or until chips are lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and place baked tortilla chips on paper towel on a baking sheet or plate, to cool. Season with salt.
    2 teaspoons salt
  • If doing in batches, for following batches, bake for 8 minutes and then flip and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes. (It will take less time as baking sheet is already warmed)
  • Enjoy once slightly cooled!

Notes

Storage directions: These chips taste freshest within 1-2 hours of baking them. Once chips are completely cooled, store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days before getting stale. Once chips go stale, you can use in chilaquiles!
Stale > Fresh: Stale corn tortillas are best for making homemade tortilla chips. This is because the tortillas are already slightly on the drier, crispier side, resulting in deliciously crisp tortillas. If using more fresh and moist tortillas (you can tell because the tortillas will feel slightly more pliable and wet to touch) then you will have to bake for longer.
Air Fryer: Making these gluten free chips in the air fryer is completely doable! I have a whole recipe dedicated to how to make air fryer tortilla chips.
