All you need is three ingredients to make a batch of homemade baked tortilla chips. So much crunchier and heartier than the bagged kind!

Chips are a staple in our house. That’s probably not what you were expecting a dietitian to say.

A decent amount of salsa and homemade guacamole gets eaten around here every week, and corn tortilla chips are the go-to delivery system.

I don’t know why it never occurred to me before to make my own baked tortilla chips. Yet it didn’t, until we had a batch of fresh homemade guac…and no chips. But we did have a bag of corn tortillas in the fridge.

Now store-bought chips seem flimsy and inadequate next to these hearty, crispy wedges. The kids like them too!

Variations: Before baking, brush the tortilla wedges with a combination of olive oil and fresh lime juice. Or sprinkle them with my homemade taco spice mix.

5. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until desired crispness.
