Ingredients

The ingredients are:

  • 1 1/8 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 lime, zested
  • 1 tablespoon canola (or vegetable oil you can use olive oil, but I prefer not to)

  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Tortillas ... Corn or flour - both are good, although I prefer corn. Stack 5 tortillas on a plate, and cut the tortillas in triangles or wedges (4-6 wedges), using a sharp knife. Then, cut the other 5 the same way.

  • Step 2: Season ... Add the oil, pepper, lime zest, lime juice, and chili powder together in a small bowl, and mix to combine. Add the tortilla wedges, and toss to coat.

  • Step 3: Make sure that all the chips are coated well. Add the chips to a sheet pan, lined with parchment paper or foil (make sure not to overlap them).

  • Step 4: Bake ... In a 400 degree oven, middle shelf, for 12-18 minutes until golden brown. Keep and eye on them, they can go quickly. And remember, these are baking guidelines; depending on your pan and oven, baking times can differ. Once they are golden brown, remove from the oven, immediately sprinkle with salt, and let them cool.

  • Step 5: Cool and store in a sealed container or ziploc bag.

  • Step 6: Serve and ENJOY! ... I love a good queso dip or salsa. Or, how about as a garnish in a bowl of chili or tortilla soup.
