Homemade Tortilla Chips Recipe (Super Easy) (2024)

Quick homemade tortilla chips with tons of possible variations.

How to Make Tortilla Chips the Easy Way

Perfect for nachos! Baking up your own tortilla chips can be nice for a few reasons – you can customize them to your liking, adapt for food allergies or sensitivities, or make them healthier, and they are easy and cheap. Especially cheap if you make your own tortillas!

Step 1. Cut Your Tortillas

Pizza cutters are so handy. I use them to cut quesadillas, pancakes for the little kids, breadsticks, pizza (of course), and more. Handy, I tell ya.

You can pretty much use any type of tortilla for these baked chips. I have used whole wheat, corn, and white flour tortillas before with success. High fiber tortillas are a great substitute for those store-bought tortilla chips!

Step 2. Bake Your Tortilla Chips

Baking time for these homemade tortillas chips may vary, so keep an eye on them – they can burn real fast! Once cooled, you can eat them up or store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

For a sweet version, you could try using melted butter instead of the oil, and sprinkling cinnamon and sugar in place of the salt and pepper.

Note: Sophierecommended dipping the tortillas in water, or spritzing them with water, then patting them dry before placing them on the pan. Then she usedthe oil, salt, and pepper, and so on. I haven’t tried the water before, but please let me know if you have and if it is worth doing!

Final Thoughts

Enjoy this nice and easy recipe! These tortilla chips are perfect for Buffalo Chicken Nachos! They’re also great with a nice bowl of salsa (find some amazing salsa recipes below).
