Homemade Tortilla Chips

I’ve been a little obsessed lately with making tortilla chips. After all, who doesn’t love nachos? And homemade chips can only make them better, right?

There are two basic methods that Gabriel and I have liked. The first one – Gabriel’s favorite – consists of making regular tortillas, brushing them with oil, cutting them into quarters (or whatever you prefered shape is), salting, and baking them at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Easy peasy.

My problem with this method is that the chips don’t really bubble up, and they get stale really quickly. You pretty much have to eat them fresh.

The second method is slightly messier, but results in a bubbly tortilla, and crispy chip.

Mmmmm, tortilla chips and salsa. Now all I need is a movie. Forget popcorn!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Masa Harina
  • 1 cup +/- cold water

  5. Cut tortillas into quarters and place on a cookie sheet. Salt liberally.
