Loved them warm. You can reheat in the oven if they get soggy to crisp up a little.

Agreeing with many reviews, this is more instructions than a recipe...but homemade tortilla chips are wonderful. Just a thought for those thinking to use cinnamon & sugar, or honey, or any other sweet topping.....try using flour tortillas. After living in AZ & TX for 12 years, I've learned fried flour tortillas work better for more dessert/sweet chips.

I noticed one post said that older tortillas made better chips. This is because the older tortillas will have dried out a little bit. I used to work at a fast-food place where we made fresh tortillas and fresh-fried tortilla chipps and served them with all kinds of toppings and fillings. We didn't use the fresh made tortillas for our chips because the water content is too high. I would definitely suggest using older tortillas, or letting the tortillas sit out between a couple of paper towels for half an hour before frying them.

I make tortillas at least 3 times a week and chips fairly frequently, so here are my tips to help you out: (1) If you want to make chips from homemade tortillas, you need to be sure to press the dough VERY thin - as thin as possible - before cooking them. A tortilla that is thick & moist will not crisp up when frying it. It's perfectly acceptable to use store-bought tortillas if you're not able to do this. (2) Place a stack of tortillas on a cutting board, slice them in half, place one half on top of the other, and slice in thirds. (3) I personally don't use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil; slightly below medium-high works fine. A good way to check is by placing one tortilla in it and see if it sizzles, in which case it is properly heated. (4) The first batch always turns out funky. (5) Remove the chips from the oil as soon as they're light golden - not dark golden - don't let them burn. (6) I personally don't salt my chips. Store in air-tight container.

I am rating the baking version of this recipe as I have never tried deep frying the chips. My alterations are as follows: I stack and cut the corn tortillas in 6 wedges and arrange them on a non-stick baking sheet. Then I spritz unsweetened lime juice over them. Next comes a spray of Olive Oil Pam right over the top. Lastly, I lightly salt them. Then into the oven they go at 350 for 20 minutes. I rarely buy tortilla chips anymore as they are full of salt, preservatives and fat. These are much healthier!

OMG...I will never buy tortilla chips again! I love these and you can season however your heart desires.

Thanks for posting this, I didn't know what temperature my oil needed to be at. Off to make a botana(Michigan version)with this.

I saw someone else’s comment about topping the fried chips with cinnamon and sugar and that just really got my mind going! It made me think of sopapillas the Hispanic fried dough dessert so I sprinkled mine with the cinnamon sugar mixture, drizzled with honey and chocolate syrup put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on them and some sliced almonds, it was sinfully delicious!

I found them plain, but my fiance LOVED them, couldn't stop eating them. THANKS

very tasty. I took others advice and sprayed with Pam cooking spray and it helped take away some of the dryness.

These were tasty, really simple and easy, although lacking flavour. Had to douse them in lime juice, which enhanced them and made them even better. However, I no longer need to buy tortilla chips from the package.

I love tortilla chips with no salt on them but you cant find them at the store, this was the perfect solution. So easy and so good. Taste like I got them in Mexico. Thanks so much.

I make these when I am 'in a pinch' and out of store bought chips, but for me it is honestly not worth the time vs. opening a bag.

This is so easy and good. I love having the chips warm and I can salt them or not to my likeness.

I've tried these baked and fried and they're great either way. If you bake them, they'll probably be soft the next day, but just toss them back in the oven to toast them back up. We don't live in the U.S. and can't get tortillas here, so these were especially yummy. Probably if we lived in the States, I would just buy chips at the store, but these are great - very Mexican restaurant-tasting!
