Photo shows three different types of tortilla chips (flour, corn, and low carb).

These wonderful tortilla chips make sturdy dippers and are great for scooping up salsa and dips. These chips can be made with either corn or flour tortillas. You can diet and still enjoy your snacks, as they are a healthy alternative to fried chips.

Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips

Flour tortillas, corn tortillas, and/or wheat tortillas*
Nonstick cooking spray (I like to use the olive oil spray)
Seasoning of your choice (optional)**

* I like to use a mixture of different types of tortillas

** Salt, seasoning salt, garlic salt, paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.  NOTE: I usually make my chips without any seasoning.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Lay the tortillas out on a cutting board, spray with the nonstick olive oil spray on both sides. If using a seasoning, sprinkle on both sides now. Stack the tortillas in piles of eight (8) tortillas. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut through the pile of tortillas, cutting into 4 equal triangles.

Arrange tortilla triangles in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake for approximately 6 to 7 minutes until crisp and the edges start to curl and turn lightly brown. Watch the chips carefully after 5 minutes, as they can burn easily. Once the chips are done, remove from the oven to cool. Chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
