Ingredients

• 10 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat up oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C) if frying.

Step 2

Stack the corn tortillas on a cutting board and slice them into 6 wedges each to create triangular chips.

Step 3

If baking the chips, place the tortilla pieces on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Brush the tortillas with olive oil on both sides.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.

Step 5

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the tortilla pieces, ensuring each chip is well-coated.

Step 6

For baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

For frying: Carefully lower the tortilla pieces into the hot oil in batches, cooking for about 1-2 minutes per batch or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 8

Once cooked, let the chips cool slightly before serving. Serve them with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or queso dip. Enjoy!
