Home Made Chili Pepper Lime Tortilla Chips

Created by Kchurchill5 on June 29, 2013

10 tortillas (flour tortillas or corn tortillas, cut in wedges 6 inch tortillas, 4 or 6 wedges)
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)

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.
