#2 Almost Homemade Chips

At my house a treat has always been chips of any kind.  Generally, the only time chips purchased are for BBQ's we're attending or parties.  Instead a great treat for them is to make the chips from tortilla's.

There are probably 100's of ways to make these, but here are a few ideas:

Lemon or Lime Tortilla Chips
-1 pkg of 8, Flour or Wheat Tortilla's cut into 6-8 wedges.
-Brush each side with lemon or lime juice, sprinkle with salt (I only use kosher salt/sea salt)
-Put in single layer on baking sheet(s).  Bake at 400 F for 8-10 minutes or until crisp (edges will be browned and crisp).
-Remove and cool completely before serving.

Simple Baked Tortilla's
-1 pkg of 8, Flour or Wheat Tortilla's cut into 6-8 wedges.
-In a bowl add about 4 tsp. olive oil or vegetable oil.  Toss wedges to coat and sprinkle with salt.
-Put in single layer on baking sheet(s).  Bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes or until crisp. 
-Remove and cool completely before serving.

Jazzed-Up Baked Tortilla Chip's
-1 pkg of 8, Flour or Wheat Tortilla's cut into 6-8 wedges.
-In a bowl add about 4 tsp. olive oil or vegetable oil. Toss wedges to coat and sprinkle with desired seasoning i.e. cinnamon, nutmeg, little sugar, garlic, onion, salt, fresh ground pepper, oregano.  Have fun with it!  The kids love doing this part and creating their own. 
-Put in single layer on baking sheet(s). Bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes or until crisp.
-Remove and cool completely before serving.

Of course you can eat salsa with these, bean salad, fruit salad, fruit dip.  Treat them as you would a regualar chip without the yucky stuff.  Kids love these for snacks, or if you give them their own mini taco salad for lunch at school or home.  Just don't forget the cheese, lettuce and other great taco toppings.
