- Cut corn tortillas in 1/2" strips and add to a parchment lined baking sheet with sides in a single level.TIP: Pizza cutter is great for this task.
- Add olive oil to a sprayer and spray tortilla strips and sprinkle with salt. If you don't have a sprayer you can add to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. NOTE: Using a bowl may cause strips to break apart more than a sprayer.TIP: Lime Sea Salt is a favorite one to use with these.
- Add to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes and then turn over and bake for another 5-10 minutes until desired crispiness.Feel free to spray oil and sprinkle with salt again when you turn them over.
