Notes

Try making homemade tortilla chips ~
  • Spray the tortillas with cooking spray, sprinkle with kosher salt and cut into wedges. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 5 minutes.
  • Flip the chips and cook another 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Watch them closely so them don't get too brown. You want the chips to be a light golden brown.
