Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas (gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Optional: lime zest for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, stack the tortillas and cut them into 6 triangles each.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika. If using, add the lime zest for a vibrant twist.
- Add the tortilla triangles to the bowl and gently toss to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the oil mixture.
- Arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning as ovens may vary.
- Remove from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. This ensures maximum crunchiness.
- Serve immediately with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or dipping sauce, and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover tortilla chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to use flour tortillas if gluten is not a concern, or sprinkle different seasonings like chili powder or garlic salt to switch up the flavor.
- Pairings: These tortilla chips pair beautifully with a fresh homemade salsa, guacamole, or even a warm cheese dip. For drinks, a cold, fizzy beverage or a chilled limeade can be the perfect complements.
