Step by step

Method

5 steps

1. 1

   With a pastry brush, paint a very light coating of oil on one side of each tortilla.

2. 2

   Stack the tortillas greased side up in an even pile.

3. 3

   With a sharp, heavy knife (or serrated knife) cut the stack in half, then into quarters, then into eighths.

4. 4

   Separate the pieces and arrange them greased side up on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

5. 5

   Toast the chips in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until they are crisp and just beginning to brown lightly; watch them closely so they don't become over baked. Taste for salt and serve when it looks done.
