Hot Tangy Homemade Tortilla Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the oil, chili powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Brush each tortilla with the oil mixture and stack on top of one another to lightly oil the backside.
• Cut into wedges, and arrange in a single layer on baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat deep-fryer to about 375 degrees, depending on your fryer. Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Mix hot-red pepper(I prefer Hatch Hot New Mexican chili powder, but the sky is the limit), citric acid, salt and paprika in a bowl. When thouroughly mixed, pour into a nice sized, red pepper shaker--like found in Italian restaurants. Start by cutting the tortillas into wedges as if to cut a pizza...let's call them home-made doritos. You can cut about 6-8 tortillas at a time with a nice big knife.
• 2. I like to use a big aluminum catering pan(like the pic) to dump the chips into right out of the fryer. So have one of these right by the fryer so I don't get oil everywhere.
• 3. Ok, so drop about 20 wedges into the fryer and let cook until slighty golden, not too long because these are going into the oven for a bit too.
• 4. After they are done in fryer, dump into aluminum pan and sprinkle with pepper seasoning. Put a lot on them coating them. Flip over each hot chip and sprinkle the other side. Quickly place aluminum pan with seasoned chips into the oven and continue frying more tostada chips, pulling out the pan from the oven each time, seasioning, returning to oven etc.
• 5. After all the chips are cooked and seasoned-- place them in oven to let the spices really cling to the chips. About 25-30 minutes on 170 degrees. During the baking in oven, mix them up a few times with a big spoon just to give them some even toasting.
• 6. Let them cool for a bit then Bag 'em up for your spicy friends, or Grab a beer or margarita and enjoy. During the more humid months, these go stale rather fast, so i usually cook them other times....or if they do go stale bake in oven on low again for a few minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Lightly brush the tortillas all over with olive oil. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of tangy spice blend evenly over each tortilla and season lightly with salt. Flip and repeat on the other sides.
• Stack 4 tortillas on top of one another and cut into 6 equal triangles. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Spread the tortilla triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake the tortillas for 20-25 minutes, rotating halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix salt and chili powder. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges. In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 350°. Fry chips, several at a time, 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels., Transfer chips to a large bowl; sprinkle with salt mixture and gently toss to coat.

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.
