Makes approximately 8 large chips or 16 smaller chips per tortilla You may have to make these two or three times to find the right balance of oil, salt, and pepper for you. When I first made them, I found them too bland.
Pour a scant ½ tsp. (2.5 mL) of oil into the center of each tortilla and spread with a pastry brush. Do this on both sides of each tortilla. Sprinkle 1 side of the tortilla with salt and pepper.
Cut into triangles and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes. If you prefer a darker chip with a more toasted taste, increase the baking temperature to 400°F (200°C), but keep an eye on the chips, as they darken very quickly.
The chips will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
