Making homemade baked tortilla chips is easy. With only three ingredients, you can have crispy, crunchy, salty, tortilla chips that taste even better than the restaurant chips!

The best thing about this recipe is that they are not deep fried!

These baked corn tortilla chips not only taste better than the fried version, they are healthier also!

"My new love, these chips are awesome! And easy." ★★★★★-Janet

Are you a salsa and chip fan? To me, nothing is better than perfectly crisp, crunchy chips. They are definitely my weakness.

If I can dip them in my homemade salsa, tomatillo salsa verde, jalapeno salsa, or guacamole... all the better!

I hope you love them as much as I do. Enjoy! xoxo ~Katie.

baked tortilla chip ingredients-corn tortillas, olive oil cooking spray, and coarse salt

Ingredients and substitutions

You will need the following simple ingredients to make baked tortilla chips.

corn tortillas-White or yellow corn tortillas are reccommended.
olive oil-You do not need much oil for this recipe, so I suggest using an olive oil spray or mister for a light even coating. You can use a different oil like avocado oil, coconut oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil. I prefer olive oil.
coarse salt-A little crunchy coarse salt adds texture and flavor. You can also use a little sea salt.

The full recipe with ingredient measurements is located at the bottom of the post in the recipe card.

Steps to make

Follow these steps to make healthy tortilla chips.

Cut tortillas with a sharp knife or pizza cutter into 6 pieces.
Spread tortilla triangles out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Add olive oil with a pastry brush or olive oil spray. (You do not need parchment paper.)
Next, dust tortilla wedges with a very coarse salt.
Then bake at 375 in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Cook time may vary based on your sheet pan or type of tortilla, so keep a watchful eye the last few minutes.

What kind of tortillas do you need?

For best results, I reccomend white corn tortillas or yellow corn tortillas. They offer the an authentic flavor and pack a fantastic crunch.

You can use flour tortillas, however, I personally do not recommend it. Flour tortillas will become crunchy, but will not offer the same authentic flavor as the traditional restaurant style tortilla chips.

Tips for the perfect crunch

Here are some tips for making the perfect chips!

Dark sheet pans make a crispier chip and cook faster. If you use a dark pan, keep an eye on the chips. They cook very fast at the end and you may have to adjust the baking time.
You can brush olive oil, but you will use more olive oil that way than you need to. So my suggestion, if possible, use a olive oil mister or sprayer. This will allow you to lightly even coat the chips.
Use a good, coarse, crunchy salt. You can use less salt with a coarse salt. It also adds more flavor and texture to the chip.
Want to make a spicy variation? You can use my Jalapeno Salt to make it spicy. A little goes a long way, so be careful!
For a flavor variation, add lime juice and chili powder.

How long do homemade baked chips last?

Store your leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature. Then they will last one to two weeks long.

However, they never last more than a day or two in my home because they get "gone and eaten!"
