Zesty Baked Tortilla Chips
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components for the recipe.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Arrange tortillas in multiple layers, typically consisting of five or six stacks. Utilize a sharp knife to cut through each stack, resulting in eight wedges.
4
Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on rimmed baking sheets to facilitate even cooking.
5
Combine lime juice and oil within a spray bottle or mister; shake the mixture thoroughly until it is well combined. Spray the tops of the tortilla wedges with a light, even coating to achieve optimal moisture levels.
6
Mix cumin, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl; sprinkle the resulting blend evenly over the tortilla wedges.
7
Place the prepared baking sheets in the preheated oven for 7 minutes to initiate the cooking process.
8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Flip the tortilla wedges, then reapply the lime juice and seasoning mixture.
9
Return the baking sheets to the oven, rotating them and switching racks as necessary. Continue baking until the tortilla chips are lightly browned and crispy, checking frequently to prevent burning and ensuring they reach the desired level of crispiness. This may take an additional 5 to 8 minutes.
10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. The tortilla chips will continue to crisp up as they cool, making them ideal for snacking.
11
Serve the tortilla chips alongside a side of your favorite salsa.
