Homemade Tortilla Chips

I’m a dipaphile. We love them as an informal first course for a cosy supper at home. I often rustle up a bowlful of guacamole, hummus, salsa, or a bean-based dip and serve it with something suitable to scoop it up. There are many choices: vegetable crudités, a packet of crisps, Melba toast – or these homemade tortilla chips, which are easy to make from bought wraps.

When it’s just us, I admit that we have been known to commit the ultimate dipping crime: a (gasp!) double dip. In our defence, we do flip our chip end for end, and dip the unbitten end. I’m sure purists would still be still horrified.

This recipe is very easy to make and perfect with a spicy guacamole or hearty hummus. Homemade tortilla chips (or tortilla crisps) are much healthier than the packet ones, as they are baked rather than fried.

Additionally, you can control the amount of salt, and even the greatest salt fiend is unlikely to douse them in the quantity found in the shop-bought variety. In short, they are better for your blood pressure, better for serving to children and all-round nicer.

Crispy baked homemade tortilla chips are perfect for your favourite dip like this tomato salsa.

How to Make Tortilla Chips

Step 1 – Place a pizza stone or baking tray in the oven. Preheat to 220C/425F/Gas mark 7.

Step 6 – Once they’re done, remove from the oven, allow to cool and serve with your favourite dip.

Hints, Tips & Variations for Homemade Tortilla Chips

The one thing you do have to be careful about with these homemade tortilla chips is timing. The difference between underdone and overdone is tight. When testing this recipe, we burnt a couple of batches by not being sufficiently attentive to the oven. Don’t turn your back, even for a second. If you do, they’re sure to burn! Experiment to find out exactly how long they take in your oven, and keep a close eye on them after about eight minutes.
For the spices, I’ve tried cumin, chilli, harissa or celery salt but I don’t really have a favourite, going with how I’m feeling at the time, and what works best for the dip I’m serving. I’m sure there are plenty of others that would work just as well. Experiment!
