 Ingredients:

  • 6 (6-inch) flour or corn tortillas
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Lightly spray both sides of tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle lightly with salt.
3. Place tortillas in a stack on cutting board and cut into four pieces with a pizza cutter.
4. Lay tortilla quarters out in one layer on baking sheet.
5. Bake chips 8 to 9 minutes or until crisp.


Helpful Hints:

Baked tortilla chips are much lower in fat than the usual fried ones. Use a salt shaker to lightly sprinkle chips with salt before baking. If desired, other seasonings can be used in place of salt. Try a light shake of chili powder or packaged taco seasoning for flavor. For dessert chips, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

Safety Tip:

A pizza cutter is a safe way for kids to cut tortillas into triangle-shape pieces. Otherwise, clean kitchen scissors allow kids to safely cut many ingredients, including tortillas.

While a soft tortilla is a great food for a young child, a crisp tortilla chip poses a possible choking hazard. Crisp chips are not recommended for children under 3 years of age. For safety’s sake, watch children closely during snack and meal times to prevent choking.
