80% of the time I’m a sweet snacker. My go-to are energy balls or bars or a healthy cookie, but the other 20% of the time is occupied by two things: chips and salsa and chips and hummus.

If I’m gonna go savory, I’m gonna go chips. I have a feeling I’m not alone on this one.

But regular old potato chips don’t do it for me. I think it’s because when I look at them, I can already feel the icky feeling you get after eating a few too many handfuls of them. You know the feeling…where your face feels like it might break out in any second?

But tortilla chips? Totally different story. I think this is especially true of homemade tortilla chips, that are healthier, more cost-effective and allow for lots of different flavor varieties.

And that whole “omg I just crushed a bag of chips” feeling? Not an option! Well, maybe if you ate 3 trays worth, but unfortunately you’re going to have to exert your own will-power on that one!

Homemade Tortilla Chip Variations

The only required ingredient for homemade tortilla chips is corn tortillas! After you have those covered, you can customize the flavor to your liking. Here are some variations I like:

Chili-Lime: juice of one lime, chili powder and sea salt.

Black Pepper-Herb: ground black pepper and Italian seasoning.

Cinnamon Sugar: cinnamon and sugar.

How To Make Tortilla Chips:

Spoiler alert: learning how to make tortilla chips might be less exciting than you think… they’re suuuuper simple!
