HOMEMADE TORTILLAS CHIPS

This recipes is easy and healthy and so tasty right out of the oven.  We like to make these on the weekend when we are watching a movie.  What spices you add to the chips is optional depending on your taste.  You can make them hot or mild.  Store any leftovers in a zip lock bag.  I often have the leftovers for lunch with re fried beans as a dip (got to get that protein!). These chips taste amazing if you take the time to make your own salsa.....recipe for salsa is the next post. You can also use flour tortillas, or whole wheat tortillas.  Actually a mix of flour, whole wheat and corn is great.
 
HOMEMADE TORTILLAS CHIPS

-1 pkg of corn tortillas (white or yellow)
-vegetable cooking spray (butter flavor or olive oil)
-garlic salt or whatever spices you want to use....paprika, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper

Heat over to 350 and spray several cookie sheets with cooking spray.  Spray 5 tortillas with cooking spray, turn them over and spray the other side.  Sprinkle one side with garlic salt and a little cayenne pepper or other spices as desired. Stack the 5 tortillas and cut in half with a pizza cutter (or sharp knife).  Cut in half again.  You should have 4 pieces.  Cut these pieces again until you have 8 pieces.  Lay the pieces alternately on the cookie sheets. Spray the tops again lightly with vegetable spray.  Leave some space between each one or they won't get crispy around the edges. 

Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the edges are brown and starting to curl.  Watch them closely after 6-7 minutes because they burn quickly.  Dump them into a bowl and repeat process until you have as many as you want.

****Before you take them off the cookies sheet you can sprinkle come veggie mozzarella cheese on top and stick them back into the oven for a few minutes until the cheese starts to melt.

Serve with salsa, veggie sour cream, veggie cheese.
