  1. I took them out after 8 minutes and they were burnt black wtf. seriously they probably only needed 1 minute on each side






    1. Hi Kyle! Oh no, I hate to hear that. Did you use flour tortillas and are you sure your oven is calibrated to the correct temperature? Oven temperatures certainly vary (which is why I encourage you to check them halfway through the baking time), but usually not so much that these chips would be burnt black after 8 minutes at 400 degrees F. Sounds like your oven was set closer to a broil temperature, especially if you think they would bake in 1 minute on each side.

  2. Ran out of store bought chips but had plenty of tortillas. Directions are clear and easy. Saved my taco salad for tonight.






    1. Hi, Mary! I’m so glad to hear that! It really is so easy, isn’t it? I’m really glad you enjoyed them.

    1. Hi Sarah! It definitely depends on the thickness of the flour tortillas you use. That’s why it’s important to rotate the pan halfway through the baking time and check them. We use a thicker tortilla so ours take closer to 12 minutes.
