Baked Tortilla Chips Recipe
The beauty of homemade baked tortilla chips is that they can be flavored any which way you want! This smoked paprika and rosemary version if fantastic for dipping in hummus (or my favorite roasted cauliflower dip), but feel free to use more traditional southwestern spices (think cumin and chili powder) for dipping into black bean dip, salsa or guacamole. There are plenty of seasoning suggestions later on in this post, so dive right in!
How to make baked tortilla chips:
- The prep time for tortilla chips is about 5 minutes, so turn on the oven before starting on the prep work.
- Start by stacking several corn tortillas, then cut the stack into 6 segments
- Separate the tortilla pieces and transfer to a bowl.
- Toss the tortilla pieces with some olive oil, coating them lightly. For 6 tortillas, which produces 36 chips, I used only 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Next up? Flavor those chips any which way your heart desires. More on flavor combos further down.
- Bake the chips at 350 degrees F. Ten minutes on the first side, carefully flip with a large spatula, then bake for another 4 minutes. The chips will not be completely crisp when you take them out of the oven, but will crisp up as they cool.
- If you’re not eating them right away, store in a resealable bag or airtight container, but make sure they’ve cooled completely before transferring to the storage container.
Are tortilla chips gluten free?
- Tortilla chips are gluten free if you use corn tortillas rather than flour tortillas.
- Flour tortillas are made with…you guessed it…flour, which is chockfull of gluten.
Flavor combinations for homemade chips:
- This is the fun part! Go sweet or savory, southwestern or Italian. The possibilities are endless. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Smoked paprika & rosemary: See the recipe below for one of my favorite spice/herb combinations!
- Southwestern: Use a combination of ground cumin, chili pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
- Italian: Go the easy route by using a bottle of Italian seasoning. Alternatively, use a combination of dried oregano, basil and/or rosemary.
- Sweet: Make your inner child happy with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar!

These sounded so good, I had to make them right away with the four corn tortillas I had left from the last time I made enchiladas. When they were baking, the smell that permeated my house with the rosemary reminded me of the Easter incense I just smelled yesterday! Very tasty and easy.
