Ingredients

A detailed list of ingredients used is in the recipe card at the bottom of the page!

Mini flour tortilla: you can substitute with large ones but I prefer the mini wraps as each wedge is a perfect chip or crisp size.

Olive oil: substitute for vegetable oil, avocado or any other flavourless oil. If you would frying your chips instead of baking then I recommend vegetable or sunflower oil.

Garlic granule: substitute with garlic powder.

Sea salt: or cooking salt

Seasoning variations

You can season these homemade chips with any spices of choice. My go-to are cinnamon, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, cumin. As I said you can go wild here with any seasoning of choice.

How to make homemade baked tortilla chips from scratch

preheat the oven to 180C/350F and place a baking parchment on a baking tray and set aside

to a small bowl, add olive oil, garlic granules, salt and mix to combine.

Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of the tortilla with the seasoned oil mixture. Then stack them on top of one another as you’ve oiled both sides.

With a pizza cutter or sharp knife, carefully cut the flour tortilla into 8 equal wedges or triangles. Arrange tortilla wedges on the lined baking tray on a single layer.

Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes flipping once halfway through.

Take it out of the oven and leave to cool before serving on its own or with any dips of choice.

How to make microwave or fried tortilla chips

Here is how to make tortilla chips in the microwave, you would need the same ingredients listed in the recipe. Arrange the tortilla wedges on a microwavable plate and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Leave to cool and enjoy. I love this cooking method when I am making one portion as 1 flour tortilla would make 8 chips. Enough to satisfy my craving.

This is how to fry tortilla chips: just as the other methods, you would need the same ingredients except for the oil. You would require at least 2 cups of oil (about half a litre) to fry the chips.

Place a pan on medium-high heat and heat until hot or about 350C. Test the oil for hotness by dropping a flour tortilla into it and if it floats then your oil is ready to use. Fry the tortilla wedges in batches ensuring they are not overlapping so they can cook evenly.

Fry until golden brown but not burnt. Use a slotted spoon to take the chips out of the oil and place on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil. Season with salt or other spices while it is still hot. Leave to cool and serve as desired.
