I made these and they turned out great. Followed the recipe – just subbed in Carb Balance tortillas and only seasoned with sea salt. Stayed crunchy and delicious. I can only think the people who had a bad experience need to follow the recipe better or have their over checked to make sure the temp is accurate.
Awesome! Healthier option to store bought chips. Loved the lime addition!
Nice and crispy. Not too spicy. Can up the heat with the hili powder if wanted
Easy peasy and tasty!
We’ve been buying the store brands of tortilla strips for years. As we adjust our food to eat healthier by having more control of salt content and other ingredients making our own seemed a logical choice. This recipe is simple and tasty. We make our own chili powder and used it to flavor these strips. Turned out great with compliments from all. Oh and another benefit is “NO SMASHED STRIP BITS” as is always the case with any bag of strips. All crispy full sized yummy crunchers!
It is much easier to spray the corn tortilla with oil on both sides stack and then cut, saves on the oil as well!
I did a little bit of something different. I made two trays first off. I took 6 corn tortillas at a time and sprayed each with canola oil (zero calorie kind) then stacked them on top of each other and cut into 4ths with a pizza cutter (I wanted big dip chips). I layed these out on 2 trays and sprinkled with salt. At 350 on convection mode I set my timer for 5 mins. When that went off I switched the trays from top to bottom and turned them around (I did not flip them) and let it go another 5 mins. The top tray came out and the last tray went on top for another 1 min max. My hubby loves these! They won’t last long that is for sure. I premade a whole bunch pre-cooked ready to go so I don’t have to do the prep (other than spraying a bit more canola on them if they are dry) and I will keep these in the fridge. Always fresh chips! Yay! He did not even put these with salsa though I want to dip these in my homemade hummus. I will store in a large freezer bag on the countertop (letting most of the air out) knowing that it has 2 days at most. Another great thing is you can customize your flavorings at any time or even top with cheese! One can go taco seasoning, cheddar or even ranch seasoning for some variety (just like popcorn!) Calorie count for the way I made them is 8 large chips for 100. Nice and healthy. Thank you for this recipe 🙂
Cooked for the amount of time in the recipe and they were burnt to a crisp. Would not recommend
The only change I made was instead if oil, I sprayed the chip wedges with non stick spray and seasoned to my liking. Everything seasoning is fantastic. Also try garlic powder and parmesan cheese !!
These are good, but I ended up experimenting extensively. Here are my findings, I use white corn, its more crispy, not as crunchy. I use water to moisten (no oil) and then add a little smoked salt. I cut them into quarters. I set my air fryer to 200 f for 11 minutes, I check them 7 minutes in and rotate as needed. I start removing them as they are done at 9 minutes. They turn out amazing.
Made these twice now. Followed the recipe and these turned out great both times. I didn’t use cumin because I don’t particularly like that flavour but used dried oregano, paprika and salt first time, and second time used a pork seasoning I had. Both times very yummy.
Excellent way to use up some leftover tortillas. I used olive oil in place of the vegetable oil and used some taco seasoning I had on hand. Watch the baking time, I pulled them out after 13 minutes, had I left them in for the 15 minutes, they would have burned.
I gave it a 1 because: 1. The bake was too long 2. The chip size were too small Wasted 2 large trays. Followed the recipe used a timer too
I made these right now and it was so delicious! I never make/write reviews ever but I had to show my feedback! I made this for guacamole but cant stop snacking on it! So easy and tasty! Tastes like pita chips but with more flavor!
The only problem was that they were gone in a flash. Delish. Just bought more corn tortillas to make another batch. Thanks for the recipe.
Oh so yummy!!! The only thing I would do differently is adjust the time a little-the second batch we took a minute off each side and it made a huge difference-1st batch was a little too browned for our liking, but the flavor SO good!!
OMG SO GOOD with avocado bean salad (really homemade salsa) from pinterest that I made yesterday… I changed this recipe to 7 minutes at 375, came out PERFECT!!
DELICIOUS! I used corn tortillas and coconut oil. Instead of spraying the chips I mixed them in a big bowl of the coconut oil and lime. Took a little bit longer to cook, but sooooo worth it. I gave up fried food for lent and these chips are way more tastier then the fried tortilla chips.
I only cooked them for about 10 mins and they were really good, I guess it’ll depend on your oven!
Love this! Used olive oil and just as delicious. Also brushed on instead of misted since I don’t have a mister. So so delicious.
This is a fantastic idea and love that it is a healthier option. I followed the recipe using the lime and oil and they turned out fantastic.
