Servings: 4
Calories: 383cal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or another oil including vegetable, canola, sunflower, grapeseed, olive
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more for garnishing if desired
- 8 small 5 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.
