Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Ten 5- to 6-inch white corn tortillas
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Add the vegetable oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Arrange the tortillas on a clean work surface. Using a pastry brush or a silicone brush, lightly brush the tortillas with the lime spice mixture. Be sure to just lightly coat the tortillas in the mixture; do not oversaturate them. Flip over the tortillas and lightly coat the other side as well.
Stack the tortillas and cut them in half, then cut each half into 3 chip-size wedges (6 wedges per tortilla). Transfer the wedges to 2 rimmed baking sheets and arrange them in an even layer, making sure not to overlap any. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wedges on both baking sheets.
Bake until the chips are golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 teaspoon(s) coarse sea salt
1 - lime, juiced
9 - whole small white corn tortilla shells
6 tablespoon(s) warmed bacon fat or olive oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350. Place salt in small bowl and juice from lime (about 1/4 cup).
Brush both sides of the whole tortillas with the bacon fat. Cut into fourths (or how small you want them). Place on metal pan and brush with the lime/salt mixture. Don't overlap the tortillas. Bake 10-14 minutes, turning over halfway through. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
You can season to your own liking, using more or less salt in the lime mixture (if any at all). I have also used olive oil instead of the bacon grease and it works just fine.
