Baked Chips
Ingredients
8 corn tortillas
Olive oil
Kosher Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper
Directions
Baked Tortilla Chips: Preheat an oven to 400d F. Kids can slice the tortilla into triangles. Add to a baking sheet, add a 2 Tbs oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chips flat so they aren’t touching each other (use two baking sheets if necessary. Bake, with adult supervision, for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway. To flip, take the sheet out of the oven and use tongs to turn over each chip. Chips should be lightly browned, but not too dark. Remove to a bowl to cool and continue with remaining batches. (Use a timer so you don’t forget about the chips!)
