Tortilla Crisps Food

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• With a pastry brush, paint a very light coating of oil on one side of each tortilla.
• Stack the tortillas greased side up in an even pile.
• With a sharp, heavy knife (or serrated knife) cut the stack in half, then into quarters, then into eighths.
• Separate the pieces and arrange them greased side up on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Toast the chips in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until they are crisp and just beginning to brown lightly; watch them closely so they don't become over baked.

BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil. Stack the tortillas and cut the pile into sixths to make chips. Spread the chips out in a single layer on two large baking sheets and season with salt. Bake until golden brown and crisp, rotating the baking sheets once, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve.

TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Place a deep-frying thermometer in the pot. Heat the oil over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, stack the tortillas, and cut the pile into sixths to make chips.
• Raise the heat to high. Working in batches, fry the chips, turning them with a skimmer or slotted spoon, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined pan to drain. (Return the oil to the proper temperature between batches.) Cool and season with salt. Serve.

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS WITH GUACAMOLE & CHARRED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• To make the tortillas, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil, then cut into triangles with scissors. Arrange in a single layer on 1 or 2 baking sheets and bake for 7-8 mins. Remove, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
• To make the guacamole, halve and stone the avocados, then spoon the flesh into a bowl. Pour over the lime juice and a sprinkle of salt, then crush with a potato masher until puréed but still chunky. Add onion, coriander, chillies and chipotle paste. Stir through and set aside until needed.
• For the salsa, place the tomatoes, cut-side up, in a shallow baking tray. Season, and place under the grill until blackened, about 15 mins. Meanwhile, in a dry non-stick frying pan, blacken the chillies and garlic. Keep turning to darken on all sides, about 10 mins. When done, peel the garlic and place in a food processor. Place the chillies in a plastic bag to steam for a few mins, then peel, deseed and stem. Add the flesh to the food processor along with the tomatoes, onion, coriander, lime juice and chipotle paste. Season and pulse until chunky.

TORTILLA COOKIE CRISPS

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, add the first six ingredients. Beat on low speed about 2 minutes, then medium speed until blended.
• In another mixing bowl, add flour, soda and walnuts. Mix well.
• Add flour mixture to sugar egg mixture in two portions. Mix after each addition.
• Take out beaters.
• Add crushed tortillas two cups at a time. Mix with spoon. Then add two more cups, mix.
• Make sure that the tortillas are crushed very fine. I have rough crushed and fine crushed and the latter works the best.
• The last two cups mix in, the "dough" will be a little stiff. But mix well.
• Preheat oven 375°F.
• Take heaping tablespoon and drop on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Note: I used a little over a 1/3 cup of evaporated milk this time and it seemed that the cookie dough was creamier.
• Bake 10 minutes light and soft and chewy.
• Bake 12 minutes brown and crispy and chewy.
• Let set 5 minutes then take off of sheets.
• I like to put the cookies on the upper top racks of the oven. It seems to cook evenly.
• Note:.
• Do not use black sheets. Bottoms get too done and tops not cooked enough.
• Servings based on 3 large cookies per person.
• Cooking time is for two sheets at a time.
• Note: You may add cinnamon instead of Chinese Five Spice. Do not use both.
• Note: You may use 1 1/2 tsp powdered anise with the addition of the rum and add a little more brown sugar.

• Shred the cheese if you have bricks of cheese. Mix the cheeses together in a bowl.
• Lay out the corn tortillas on a baking sheet.
• Turn the oven to broil 400°F.
• Sprinkle 1 oz. of green chilies on the tortilla if desired.
• Evenly distribute the cheese on all four tortillas right to the edge of each one.
• Place the sliced pimientos on each tortilla if desired.
• Place the baking pan about four inches from the broiler. Broil about 2-3 minutes Until cheese is melted.
• Take out, slice if desired. Use a sharp knife.
• Note: To make a complete meal, sprinkle browned drained hamburger or turkey burger on each tortilla first, then the chilies, cheese and pimientos. This recipe is a meal stretcher and kids love it.
• Pass the sour cream or guacamole.

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Collect the tortillas into 2 tall stacks and cut into 6 even wedges. If frying your tortilla chips, proceed to Step 2. If baking your tortilla chips, proceed to Step 3.
• To fry your tortilla chips, line 2 large baking sheets with paper towels. Set aside. Fill a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet with about 1/2 inch vegetable oil (about 4 cups). Heat over medium until the oil reaches about 350 degrees and is hot but not smoking, 6 to 10 minutes. You can see if it's ready by dipping a tortilla wedge into the hot oil. It should bubble immediately and enthusiastically. Gently add enough tortilla wedges to fill the skillet in a single layer without crowding, and fry for about 1 minute per side, using a spider or a slotted spoon to flip them over, until lightly golden and crisp. (Do not allow them to brown too much or they will taste bitter.) Using the spider or slotted spoon, transfer the chips to the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle immediately with salt, so it adheres to the glistening chips. Repeat until all chips are cooked, transferring cooled chips to a large bowl and replacing the paper towels as needed. (Let the remaining oil cool to room temperature, then strain and transfer to a bottle to reuse it for future deep frying.)
• To bake your tortilla chips, position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 375 degrees. Brush 2 large baking sheets with oil or spray with cooking spray. Working in batches, scatter the tortilla wedges on top in a single layer without crowding too much. (The chips should barely overlap.) Lightly brush or spray the tops with oil or cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, remove from the oven, flip the chips and return to the oven, until lightly browned and crisp, another 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste, so the salt will stick to the chips. Repeat with remaining chips.
