I’ve been buying the store-bought baked tortilla chips for years now, but have always been frustrated by all the broken chips in the bag. Plus, I noticed the store-bought chips didn’t have the same rich, toasty corn flavor as the corn chips served by the real Mexican restaurant my family likes to visit. So I decided to try making tortilla chips at home, with real corn tortillas–and they were awesome!
This recipe will give you the same great-tasting chips you’d expect to find in a real Mexican restaurant–not the chips you get out of a bag. Plus, you can use pretty much whatever kind of oil you want, and you can season the chips according to your mood. These chips are also awesome baked with a bit of jalapenos and melted cheese sprinkled on top.
