Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1/4 cup ground cumin
- 4 low-fat corn tortillas
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Prepare seasoning: In a small cup, mix together the cumin, chili powder, and salt. This flavorful blend will give your chips that signature Tex Mex kick!
-
Prepare tortillas: Lay out the corn tortillas on a clean surface. Spray one side of each tortilla lightly with cooking spray.
-
Season tortillas: Sprinkle the chili powder mixture evenly over the sprayed side of the tortillas. Ensure each tortilla is generously coated with the delicious seasoning.
-
Cut into wedges: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into 8 equal-sized wedges. Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on an ungreased, large non-stick cookie sheet.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tortilla wedges for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Cool: Once baked, transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them achieve maximum crunchiness and ensures they stay crispy.
-
Storage: If you’re not serving the chips immediately, store them in a tightly covered container to maintain their freshness and crunch.
-
