Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8 as an hors d'oeuvre

Ingredients

sixteen 6-inch corn tortillas
about 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Step 2

    Brush both sides of tortillas with oil and with scissors cut each tortilla into about 5 randomly shaped wavy strips. In 2 large shallow baking pans arrange half of strips in one layer. (Strips should curl up on their own, but if necessary gently twist or fold them over.)

    Step 3

    In a small bowl combine chili powder, salt, and sugar and through a small sieve sprinkle half of mixture over tortilla strips in pans. Bake tortilla strips in upper and lower thirds of oven until just crisp, 6 to 8 minutes, and transfer to paper towels to cool. Make more chips in same manner with remaining tortilla strips and chili mixture.
