Homemade Tortilla Chips



This past weekend, I bought some mini corn tortillas at Fresh & Easy for half off (as you can see, a whopping 66 cents!). I was excited to marinate and grill up some chicken breast for homemade mini-tacos. But much to my dismay, the tortillas were kinda nasty in texture.



I wasn't sure if it was because they were near their expiration date or what, but I decided to toast them - so I cut each tortilla into 4 'chips' and then mixed up a little olive and canola oil, chipotle pepper powder, garlic powder, and paprika, with a sprinkle of sea salt, and drizzled a few drops on each side of each 'chip' and baked for about 8 minutes.



Not much else to say but HELLO DELICIOUSNESS!

[update: I later found that heating the tortillas helps a lot in terms of texture - I successfully made my mini-tacos! Good to know.]
