Chips a la Marguerite!

I dont know about yall, but I love me some Tostitos 'Hint of Lime' tortilla chips. Not only do I think they are a little pricey ($3-something for a bag - yes, I am cheap), but they also are no friend to a healthy diet!

So, whilst I was making a delicious mexican meal, I decided to experiment with some whole wheat tortillas to see if I could manage to make some edible chips from them.

Turns out tortillas make a pretty satisfying chip! Heres how to do it:
Directions:
  • Pre -heat oven to 425 degrees
  • Slice tortilla (i used wheat but any kind would be fabulous!) into 8 triangles
  • Spread out evenly on lined baking sheet
  • Lightly brush each triangle with olive oil
  • Sprinkle some chili powder, salt, and a squeeze of lime juice
  • Bake for about 8 minutes - YOU MUST WATCH THESE CAREFULLY SO THEY DONT BURN!
  • Let cool on paper towl
  • ENJOY!

Store in air tight bag - last for a day or two.
