Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 flour tortillas
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • pinch salt
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
  • Start by stacking the tortillas neatly. With a sharp knife, slice them into six equal-sized wedges.

  • For the tortilla wedges, you have two methods to coat them with olive oil. One option is to brush both sides of each wedge with olive oil and then lay them on the baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap for even crisping.
    Alternatively, place the wedges in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and gently mix them with your hands or a spoon to ensure even coating on both sides and lay them on the baking sheet.
    After either method, lightly sprinkle salt over the wedges.

  • Place the tray in the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes. After about 4 minutes, rotate the tray so that the tortilla wedges brown evenly.
  • Remove the tray from the oven. When cool enough to handle, remove the tortilla chips from the tray and enjoy.

Notes

  • Even Coating: Ensure each tortilla is evenly coated with oil for uniform crispiness.
  • Watch the Oven: Keep an eye on them while baking to prevent burning.
  • Proper Storage: Store in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
