Homemade Tortilla Chips

     I love snacks and dips!  I could eat an entire meal of chips and dip.  I often contemplate ordering strictly off the appetizer menu when we go out to eat :)  Today's post is a simple and healthy alternative to salty, greasy chips and store bought dip.  Don't get me wrong!  I have a soft spot for Ruffles brand chips and canned spinach dip, but this recipe is so simple that there's no excuse for unhealthy choices.  These are great with salsa or my homemade Spinach Dip.

Homemade Tortilla Chips
Ingredients:
flour tortillas, cut into wedges
canola oil

salt
chili powder

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Lay out one single layer of tortilla triangles onto a greased cookie sheet.  You may need to do this in batches depending on how many you make.  Drizzle chips with canola oil and sprinkle salt and chili powder.  Bake for 5-10 minutes.  Check them frequently until you find a good bake time.  They will burn quickly, but you want the chips to be crispy.  When they come out of the oven, store in an air tight container or bag for several days.

Play with your seasonings!  For "original" chips, use salt by itself.  Try lime juice and cilantro for a salsa pairing.
