Ingredients

5 corn tortillas, you can make more or less
olive oil
kosher salt, or other course salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut each tortilla into six triangle-shaped wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Place the tortilla wedges in a single layer onto a cooling rack placed on top of a baking sheet. Spray or brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Bake for about 6 minutes, then use tongs to turn wedges over. Spray again with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake an additional 6 or so minutes until a light golden brown. Sprinkle with more salt before serving.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Stack and cut the tortillas quickly with a pizza cutter, it makes super even wedges that bake at the same speed.
Do not overcrowd the rack, airflow is what makes them crisp, so keep them in a single layer.
Brush lightly or spray evenly with oil, too much oil can make them heavy instead of crisp.
Start checking a minute early if your tortillas are thin, they can go from golden to too dark fast.

Air Fryer Directions. Working in batches, place the tortilla triangles in the air fryer basket. Spray with olive oil and air fry at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

Serving suggestions. Serve with Salsa and other Appetizer Dips or with Taco Salad, Nacho Recipe, and Mexican Soups.

Store for 2-3 days in an airtight container. If the chips start getting soft, place them back in the oven at 375°F until crisp.
