Jump to Recipe

You just need 3 ingredients to make these homemade baked tortilla chips! They're crisp and delicious and can be ready in minutes. Perfect to enjoy with a dip, with cheese, or alone as a crunchy snack. You'll never go back to store brands when you can make tortilla chips this easily at home.

This homemade baked tortilla chip recipe is one I've had in my recipe files for years. These chips are made with tortillas, olive oil (or oil spray), and salt.

I make them all the time to serve with a big bowl of chili or to go with a bowl of soup.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Homemade tortilla chips are so easy to make and they're made with just 3 ingredients!
  • With this easy baked tortilla chips recipe you can make as many or as few tortilla chips as you would like.
  • Feel free to use flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or even whole wheat tortillas. If you would like to make low carb tortilla chips, just use low carb tortillas.
  • Store-bought tortilla chips can't compare to the fresh flavor and texture of homemade.

Ingredient Notes

See recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.

You only need three ingredients to make homemade tortilla chips:

  • Tortillas: Use homemade or store-bought flour tortillas.
  • Olive oil: I use extra virgin olive oil in this homemade tortilla chip recipe as well as in every other recipe on One Dish Kitchen that calls for olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the least processed form of olive oil. It is an unrefined oil and the highest-quality olive oil you can buy. Because of the way extra virgin olive oil is made, it retains more true olive taste. It also contains more of the vitamins and minerals found in olives. It's my favorite type of olive oil to use but you may use a lighter olive oil instead.
  • Salt: For flavor. Feel free to leave it out if you would like to make unsalted tortilla chips.

How To Make This Recipe

Step 1: Stack the tortillas in one pile.

Step 2: Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 equal-sized wedges.

Step 3: Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of each tortilla wedge with olive oil and place back on the baking sheet. Try not to let the tortilla wedges overlap, otherwise they won't crisp. Sprinkle a pinch or two of salt over the tops of the tortilla wedges.

Step 4: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes. At around the 4 minute mark, rotate the tray so that the tortilla wedges brown evenly. The chips are done when they are dry and very lightly browned.

Step 5: Remove the tray from the oven. When cool enough to handle, remove the tortilla chips from the tray and enjoy. If you are not eating them all right away, they can be stored in an airtight container or zip topped bag.

These homemade tortilla chips are the absolute best! They are so inexpensive to make and are a great way to use up leftover tortillas. They can be made so quickly and easily, you can make a small batch whenever a craving hits.

Expert Tips

  • You can use an oil spray instead of olive oil. Personally, I like the taste and texture of the chips that have been brushed with oil better and find them to be crisper.
  • The tortillas I use are not thin. If you use very thin tortillas, the chips will not need to bake as long. Check them after about 5 minutes to see if they are done.
  • Feel free to add your favorite spices or seasonings to your tortilla chips. I love adding Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and a touch of garlic powder.

How Long Can You Store Homemade Tortilla Chips?

Baked chips are best eaten the same day. You can eat them 1-2 days later but they just won't be as crispy.
