How to Make Baked Tortilla Chips

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.
They burned after 4 minutes. Oven was set at 400 per instruction. I would lower the temperature or just use the toaster.
Did you use flour tortillas? I would recommend checking your oven temperature to make sure it is reading correctly. We make these almost every week and they always take about 10 minutes.
Agreed… mine were black by the 5 minute mark… oven at 250 for 6 minutes and they’re perfect!
Thanks for sharing! Oven temperatures and thickness of tortilla brands certainly vary so I definitely recommend checking them halfway through the baking time. Glad you enjoyed!
Will never buy bagged tortillas again. These are amazing. Did 400 @9 minutes, in my oven needs 8 minutes. The light taste of sea salt is outstanding. Thank you for a great recipe
The oven temp/time on this recipe is WAY off! Mine were charred before 10 min.
Hi Helen! What kind of tortillas did you use? Did you rotate the pan halfway through the baking time? If so, you should have noticed that they were already baked. If you used a thinner or corn tortilla, they will bake faster. Hope this helps and that you’re able to try them again with success because they are so good!
Based on all comments and my experience,bake only at 5 minutes.
The recommended time is way offfffff – you’ll end up with crumbs of brown dust.
I cooked “low carb flour tortillas” at 400F for a full 10 minutes, and they were just light-med browned on the corners. People’s different results probably have to do with electric versus gas or just manufacture of oven. I thought the result was good but maybe it was because they were low carb I would need a lot of salsa on my chip to hide the odd (stinky?) taste of the tortilla. Still a win!
Do I use regular bake or convection
Hi Debbie! I use regular baking mode when I make them.
Can you use grain free?
Yes! Grain-free chips would bake faster, so watch them closely and reduce baking time. Enjoy!
Thank you! Excellent recipe.
We’re eating low carb and miss chips so much. I made this recipe with some low carb tortillas and they were perfect for our holiday smorgasbord.
I did the same thing Lydia and they are really good a new world has open time for nachos kkkkk
Definitely burnt in 10min at 400. 2nd batch came out good at 350 for 7mins
Tried this cause I’m a big tortilla chip person made this and I’m in Love thanks
I definitely burnt my first batch in just a few minutes at 400 on the top rack. No big deal! Moved the rack back to the center and the second batch were golden brown in 3-4 minutes at 400. Tasty!
Thanks for this! I was trying to find out if I could make them with flour tortillas and you answered my question!
Can you use low carb flour tortillas?
Hi Dian! Yes, they turn out great too. Enjoy!
What kind of tortillas are used in the photos? I’m interested to compare how they look
When I try this recipe!
Hi Shae! They’re flour tortillas. Enjoy!
Looks like something yummy to try.

Not sure what happened here but I burnt the heck out of two batches of chips at only 5minutes into the baking time. With the second batch, I moved the rack from top to the middle of the oven and they still burnt ( black) at 4 minutes into the baking time. Very disappointed.
Hi Tammy! So sorry to hear this. Are you sure your oven was set to 400? Sounds like your broiler might have been on if they were black after just 4 minutes. What kind of tortillas are you using? Maybe try reducing your oven temperature next time and checking on them every few minutes. Hope this helps.
My first two batches I went 8 to 10 minutes on the first batch and it got very dark got dark. Not really black but definitely Brown. So I made the next two matches and I only cook time 5 minutes pull them out they look great. I’m on my third or fourth bass right now I don’t know LOL. I have several packages of tortillas but no tortilla chips that’s why I chose to try it this way. Would definitely only took these five minutes at the most
[…] saw a recipe for Baked Tortilla Chips on one of my favorite favorite blogs, The Baker Mama. Maegan has SO many amazing recipes and also the most adorable family. She was a favorite before I […]
It worked! Not bad and quick. I used flour Tortillas and now would like to try corn. Lined sheet with parchment paper sprayed, chips arranged, then sprayed and Crystal Kosher salted lightly. 4 minutes nd turned pan then another 4 minutes. Some were graham cracker color and others still white, Good enough for what I had on hand. Served it’s purpose. Thank you for recipe.
