Baked Tortilla Chips
You'll find that it's easy to make your own healthy baked tortilla chips! Baked corn tortilla chips are crunchy and salty, pretty much everything you need in a good chip without the grease.
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 6 small (6-inch) corn tortillas (yellow or white)
- avocado or olive oil spray
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt (more to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. You can stack the tortillas and cut several at a time if you have a good sharp knife.6 small (6-inch) corn tortillas
- Spray a large baking sheet with oil spray (see note). Spread the tortilla wedges on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. (If they overlap, the overlapped portions will remain chewy instead of crisp.) Spray the cut tortillas lightly with oil spray and sprinkle with salt.avocado or olive oil spray, ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating pan once. Keep a close eye on them after 12 minutes (check every minute), because they can burn easily. Take the tortilla chips out when they are dark golden brown. We found that they do need to be golden brown to be crisp, otherwise they will be chewy. They may look a bit overdone but they taste best that way.

Notes
- Alternate method: Some cooks like to spray the tortillas on both sides before cutting them. You can also brush them with oil on both sides. Use the method that works best for you.
- Storage & reheating: Cool chips completely before storing in an airtight container or resealable bag. To refresh leftover chips, arrange them on a plate and microwave in 5 second intervals or until warm and crisp. If you prefer, use your oven, air fryer, or toaster oven to warm up the chips.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle chili powder, taco seasoning, or ground cumin along with the salt on the chips before baking to add more flavor, if desired.
- Tortillas: We tested this recipe with both flour and corn tortillas. We found that we preferred corn tortilla chips but you can make the chips with flour tortillas, if you like. Corn tortillas can be yellow or white, depending on the type of corn used.
