Homemade tortilla chips are pretty simple and only use 3 ingredients: corn or flour tortillas, oil, and seasoning! Since our recipe bakes the tortillas, it’s also healthier compared to store-bought tortilla chips or ones served in restaurants.
Our homemade tortilla chips just require a baking sheet, parchment paper (optional), and the ingredients. Spread your oil of choice onto the round tortillas, cut into 6 triangles, place on baking sheet, season, and bake! The final product will be salty, crunchy tortilla chips that aren’t greasy or heavy.
The chips and salsa typically served at restaurants are addicting. Sometimes we fill up on them before our meal even gets to the table! Since we’re always on the hunt for easy, at-home alternatives that are more nutritious, we took a stab at making this classic snack.
Flavor ideas
- Classic salt – regular or sea salt
- Seasoned salt – Tony Chachere’s, Old Bay, or your favorite seasoned salt
- Cinnamon sugar
- Lime – squeeze fresh lime juice & sprinkle salt before baking
- Chile lime – squeeze fresh lime juice & sprinkle chile powder
Our favorite ways to eat these tortilla chips
- Plain
- Dipped in salsa or our go-to guacamole
- Nachos
- As a side for tacos, burritos, or bowls
- Dipped in fruit salsa (the cinnamon sugar ones are perfect for this!)
- Migas (breakfast scramble with crushed tortilla chips)
Recipe FAQ
Either will work! We always use corn but it’s a personal preference!
Nope! You can buy (or make) whatever size tortilla you would like. You can also cut them into any size triangle or shape you prefer.
Absolutely! This shouldn’t change the recipe at all. The chips may have a nuttier, whole wheat flavor!
We usually use olive, canola, or vegetable oil. We would recommend any oil that has a mild flavor so it doesn’t overpower the chips.
We use a food-safe paint brush and it works so well! You can also pour a small amount of oil (1 Tbsp or so) onto a tortilla and spread it with your hands.
