Homemade Tortilla Chips

I don't know about you, but I used to be able to sit and eat a half a bag of store bought tortilla chips in no time at all without even thinking about it (oh yeah and that was less than 1 year ago I would do that).  But, now I try not to buy them as much for many reasons 1) without them in the house I won't be tempted and 2) they go stale if I do buy them since we don't eat them as quickly.

But, I always have whole wheat tortillas in the house.  I am not just talking 1 pack I am talking multiple packs.  So when I made the clean eating taco salad the other night, I thought, now what am I going to use for the "chips" portion.

Ta-da, I pulled out some tortillas and made my own chips.  They were easy and I didn't feel guilty eating them either.  They were made with whole wheat and baked, not fried.  Enjoy!

Homemade Tortilla Chips

Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Tortillas (I used a whole pack of 8 large ones since I wasn't sure how many people were going to be eating them)
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Garlic Powder OR Sea Salt

Directions:

- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

-  On a cutting board or cutting mat, stack your tortillas and use a pizza cutter to cut them in triangles to whatever size you would like.

-  Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread an even layer or tortillas on the baking sheet.

-  Spray the tortillas lightly with the olive oil cooking spray.  Once sprayed, sprinkle garlic powder, salt or any other seasoning of your liking lightly over the chip pieces.

-  Place in the pre-heated oven and bake 10-15 minutes.  Pay close attention to them near the end as they will burn quickly.  I cooked mine for 10 minutes and let them cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes.  They weren't all that crispy when I pulled them out of the oven, but the became crispy after sitting for a bit.

-  Enjoy by themselves or with the Clean Eating Taco Meat Filling as salad (click HERE for the recipe).
