Scale
Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas
- Cooking spray or 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt or seasoning of choice, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the chips evenly.
- Cut out shapes: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using Halloween-themed cookie cutters, cut out spooky shapes from the tortillas. Depending on the size of your cutters and tortillas, you can cut multiple shapes from a single tortilla.
- Prepare for baking: Arrange the shaped tortilla pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat. Lightly coat the shapes with cooking spray or brush them with olive oil to help the seasoning adhere and promote crisping.
- Season the chips: Sprinkle salt or your chosen seasoning evenly over the tortilla shapes to add flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tortilla chips turn golden brown and crispy. Monitor them closely near the end to prevent burning.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baked chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite dips or enjoy them plain as a crunchy snack.
Notes
- For extra crispy chips, flip the tortilla shapes halfway through baking.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like chili powder, garlic powder, or smoked paprika to customize the flavor.
- Use whole wheat or corn tortillas as an alternative for different textures and flavors.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
