Baked Tortilla Chips


Sometimes I want  to eat a few chips without having to buy an entire bag.  When there are that many chips around, I will eat all the chips in the bag in 3 days and I don't really want to do that.

Corn tortillas with a little oil sprayed or brushed onto the surface and baked in the oven is the simple solution to this problem.  If you just bake a few at a time like in the above photo, you might not want to make more even if you want more.  It takes a little while for them to bake and you have to put some effort into cutting and oiling so if you are feeling lazy, you will just savor what you have and not make more.  

Guacamole is the perfect accompaniment for these chips.  The secret to adding an extra dimension in flavor to guacamole is a pinch of ground cumin and coriander.  There must be plenty of salt too.  I'm always trying to make my recipes healthy, but without salt, the world is a little too flat.
