Categories: Appetizers, Diabetic, Vegetarian, Mexican
Yield: 6 servings
1 pk Corn Tortillas (12 ounces) -10-inch size
--or- Salt (optional)
1 pk Flour Tortillas (14 ounces),
A delicious low-fat, low-sodium alternative to conventional corn chips.
They go especially well with Guacamole and Spicy Salsa (see separate
recipes).
Immerse tortillas one at a time in water. Let drain briefly, then lay
flat.
If desired, sprinkle tops lightly with salt.
Cut each tortilla into 6 to 8 wedges.
Cover a nonstick baking sheet with a single layer of tortilla wedges, salt
side up. Place close together but do not overlap.
Bake in a 500 F oven for 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula; then continue to
bake until golden brown and crisp, an additional 3 minutes for corn
tortillas and 1 minute for flour tortillas. (Store in an airtight bag until
ready to serve.)
