Ingredients
2tablespoonsavocado oilor another oil including vegetable, canola, sunflower, grapeseed, olive
1teaspoongarlic powder
¾teaspoonchipotle chili powder
½teaspoonsaltplus more for garnishing if desired
8small5 to 6 inch corn tortillas, each cut into 6 triangular wedges
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F and spray a half sheet pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper or a Silpat; set aside.
To a large bowl, whisk together the oil with the garlic and chipotle chili powders and the salt.* (See Notes for Flavor Variation Ideas)
Add the tortillas and use your hands to very gently toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the tortillas on the prepared baking sheet, taking care to prevent them from touching and overlapping. A little overlapping is fine, but too much and they won't bake evenly and crisp up.
Bake for about 10 minutes on the first side, flip, and bake for about 8 minutes on the second side, or until done. All ovens, tortillas, the oil used, the sheet pan, etc. vary so bake until done in your oven, making sure to keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.
Allow to cool and before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional salt if desired and to taste. Chips will keep airtight at room temp for up to 5 days.
