VERY nice basic recipe for making your own tortilla chips! I tried two recipes back to back....baking the FLOUR tortillas and frying them....I think frying is the best method for the flour tortilla chips. Next time I will try the CORN tortilla chips (again trying both methods and see what the difference is. I used these chips as a substitute for crackers (as I didn't have any on hand for a roasted garlic and brie appetizer...I don't think I will be buying boxed crackers anymore!

This recipe is super simple and delicous. I tried it to use up left over corn tortillas from a different recipe. I used vegetable oil because that is what I had in the house. Also seasoned 1/2 the batch with salt and pepper and the other half with Essence of Emeril seasoning I had in the house. They were awesome!!! This is great recipe to try out your own tastes and seaon the way you like it. Next I may make a sweet version with cinnamon and suger...sounds like a good breakfast snack...
