How to Make Baked Tortilla Chips
All you need are some flour tortillas, cooking spray and a little sea salt or kosher salt.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Cut each tortilla into 8 equal wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Arrange tortilla wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the wedges with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle each one with a little sea salt or kosher salt.
- Bake the chips on the middle rack of the oven for 10-12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until chips are crispy and starting to turn lightly browned in spots. Oven temperatures vary so if your chips are crispy enough halfway through the baking time, go ahead and remove them.
- Remove from oven and let chips rest on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Repeat with remaining wedges or bake them on multiple baking sheets at the same time, rotating which shelf the baking sheets are on halfway through baking time as well.

Notes
Store leftover chips in a resealable baggie for 4-5 days.
way too much time in oven! mine got burnt at 300° in about 6 mins.
Hi Terri! Oven temperatures certainly vary, but I just baked these last week and they took 10 minutes at 400 degrees and baked up a beautiful golden brown. Did you bake them on the middle rack of your oven? Did you use flour tortillas? The thickness of flour tortillas also varies which would contribute to how long they need to bake. I suggest in the recipe instructions to check them halfway through the baking time and if they are of desired doneness, go ahead and remove them.
So easy, so yummy and fun to make! Great recipe Baker Mama!!
Hi, Donna! So happy to hear you enjoyed them!
I took them out after 8 minutes and they were burnt black wtf. seriously they probably only needed 1 minute on each side
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.
Ran out of store bought chips but had plenty of tortillas. Directions are clear and easy. Saved my taco salad for tonight.
Hi, Mary! I’m so glad to hear that! It really is so easy, isn’t it? I’m really glad you enjoyed them.
Time is too long.. they burned
Cook only 6-7 minutes and they turned out decent
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.
