Last night I made chicken taco soup for dinner in the crock-pot. About 20 minutes before we were supposed to eat, I realized I didn’t have anything to go with the soup. We usually have quesadillas, cornbread or at least tortilla chips. I remembered a little too late that we were out of cheese, which meant no quesadillas and I didn’t have the ingredients nor the time to make corn bread. All I had were plain tortillas. After putting on my creative cap, I made homemade tortilla chips. The salted variety were so good with the soup that I made more for dessert with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled overtop. Try ‘em. I think you’ll like ‘em.
Ingredients:
Tortillas (corn or flour work)
cooking spray
kosher salt or cinnamon & sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Using a pizza cutter, cut tortillas into triangles. Spread in single layer on baking sheet. Spray tortilla triangles with cooking spray. Sprinkle a pinch of salt (or cinnamon & sugar) over chips to taste.
Bake in oven 10 minutes or so until chips are golden brown and crispy.
