  • Brush each side of a tortilla with about 1/2 teaspoon oil or melted butter.
  • Sprinkle one or both sides of tortilla with seasoning of choice.
  • Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut tortilla in half and then crosswise into 1-inch wide strips, or simply cut into 8-wedges, and place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Bake until light golden brown and crisp 5-12 minutes (see note below), rotating pans halfway through if baking more than one at a time.
  • Cool to room temperature. Baked chips keep well, stored in an airtight tin, for up to a week.
