Ingredients
- 1 6- inch corn tortilla
- ½ tablespoon Olive oil
- Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- On a cutting board, brush both sides of the tortilla with the olive oil then season lightly with salt.
- Cut the tortilla in half then slice each half into thin short strips about ¼-inch thick.
- Place the cut strips onto a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake until strips are lightly browned and crisp, tossing about halfway through baking time, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- If desired, sprinkle on additional salt and lit the strips cool.
Notes
Start with good quality tortillas. Look for tortillas made with stone-ground corn flour for the best flavor and texture.
Cut the tortillas into strips that are about ½-inch wide. If they're too thick, they'll be chewy; too thin, and they'll be crispy.
Provide space when baking. Make the pieces aren't touching each other so they can crisp up evenly in the oven.
