Crispy Homemade Tortilla Chips are so easy to make with just a couple of ingredients needed! Perfect addition to a party or game night, served with fresh chunky guacamole or salsa.
HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS
These super easy tortilla chips can be done using the leftover corn tortilla you have used for soft tacos. You can also make them using flour tortillas but I have to say I totally prefer the corn ones because they are more crispier than the flour ones.
If you’re looking for a gluten free homemade tortilla chips, the corn tortilla is definitely the option.
Making super crunchy tortilla chips at home is easier than you think! You only need four ingredients: corn tortillas, oil, salt. You can fry them in vegetable oil, canola oil or even olive oil, if preferred.
If you’re looking at making baked tortilla chips, just cut the tortillas in quarters, brush with a mixture of oil and lime juice and bake for a couple of minutes.
Trust me, once you’ve tried them you’ll never go and buy another bag of tortilla chips from shops again.
They are best when served fresh, out of the frying pan or oven. Allow them to cool completely and store them in an airtight container to keep them for up a week.
