it's not lunch time yet, but I think I will go to the kitchen and make some tortillas so I can make some chips for lunch...the kids love nachos with all sorts of good fixings!!!! Oh, I love homemade tortilla chips! They go great with pineapple salsa. Now I'm hungry for lunch and it's only 10:30! quote:
i usually fry them...don't know how to get them to turn out right to bake them...any tips? I've baked them a few times. I put then in a single layer on a foil lined cookie sheet(the foil helps them crisp better), and brush them with a little oil and make sure the oven is already hot when I put them in. Sometimes I put them under the broiler for a minute if they don't seem crisp enough, but they will burn fast if you aren't watching them. I like the texture a better fried, but less fat in them when I bake them. i haven't had much luck with baking them...so that's why I fry them. We hardly ever fryu anything...as a matter of fact I have a deep oil fryer only for chips and two other thing we occasionally fry (chicken dipped in a pancake batter that hubby likes once a year when the super bowl is on...and fried apples with a batter, dipped and fried....that's more of a carnival type treat). Anyway...we don't really fry too often so I don't mind that it might not be as healthy as baked chips. We only do chips on occasion too...well, we have spurts...we might do them three or four times one month then not do them again for three months.
