    Homemade baked flour tortilla chips are such a quick and easy appetizer or snack, and they happen to make fantastic scoops for my Quinoa Ground Turkey Skillet, or this Sausage Cheese Dip. Try them in homemade nachos or as guacamole spoons!

    These healthy tortilla chips only take a few minutes to prep and then less than 15 minutes in the oven. Homemade baked tortilla chips are great because:

    • they are fresh!
    • you can customize the flavor with whatever spices are your favorite. You can even make them a sweet treat with cinnamon and sugar.
    • these are baked with whole wheat tortillas and using minimal oil making them a bit more nutritionally beneficial. You can control the amount of salt and oil, making it easier to control calories and sodium content.

    I've tested these with just salt and pepper and with three different spices mixes.

    Homemade Baked Tortilla chip seasoning ideas:

    • oil, salt, and pepper
    • cinnamon and sugar
    • nutritional yeast + spices
    • Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) + sesame seeds

    Ingredients

    See the recipe card for exact amounts.

    Flour tortillas, oil, and seasonings on a marble surface.
    • tortillas: I like to use whole wheat tortillas for the extra fiber but regular white flour tortillas made good chips too.
    • oil: oil helps the tortillas get crispy and helps the seasoning stick to the chips. I use vegetable oil like canola or corn oil.
    • seasoning: these chips are great with just salt and pepper, but you can try my 3 seasoning ideas or just one of them. The cinnamon sugar coating is my favorite.

    Substitutions

    • Tortillas: Use your favorite tortillas. I use large sized tortillas. 
    • Spices: Try one of my spice mixes or create your own. Everything bagel or Za'atar seasoning would be good. My Everyday Seasoning would be good too.

    Instructions

    Prep Tips

    • preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
    • make spice mixes or use your favorite store-bought mix.
    Brushing oil on a flour tortilla.

    Brush oil on the tortilla. Add your choice of seasoning.

    Cutting a seasoned flour tortilla in half.

    Cut the tortilla in half and then stack the pieces.

    Cut a flour tortilla in quarters.

    Cut the two stacked pieces in half again to yield 4 quarters. Stack them.

    Cutting a flour tortilla into triangles.

    Cut the stacked tortillas in half again, yielding 8 triangles.

    Place the tortilla triangles on a baking sheet.

    Bake for 12-14 minutes, flipping once. The tortilla chips will be browned and crispy. They will get crispier as they sit at room temperature.

    Serve the tortilla chips with your favorite sauce, like my Creamy Avocado Sauce.

    Tips for making baked tortilla chips

    • Line with parchment paper: to make your baking sheet easier to clean and prevent your chips from sticking, line your baking sheet with parchment paper before baking.
    • Spread the spices around: Brush the tortilla with oil and then sprinkle your seasoning on. The oil helps the seasoning stick to the tortilla. Spread the seasoning around on the tortilla using your hands or a pastry brush for a more even flavor.
    • Flip: Flip the chips halfway to make sure they bake evenly and crispy on both sides.
    • Dip: Serve with your favorite dip for an anytime snack!

    What to serve with Baked Flour Tortilla Chips

    These chips are great on their own for snacking but I believe everything is amplified with a sauce! I love these chips with my Creamy Avocado Sauce shown in the photos. They would be perfect with Guacamole, Whipped Ricotta Dip, my Pineapple and Mango Salsa, or for scooping my Beer Cheese Sauce.

    Storage

    I store my chips either in a bowl or a leftover plastic bag, loosely closed. The chips last for a few days.

    FAQs

    Can you use white flour tortillas instead of whole wheat?

    Yes, you can use whichever tortilla you prefer, and I think white tortillas would get even crispier. You can also bake corn tortillas.

    Notes

    Try any one of the spice mixes or make your own. These are just as good with just salt and pepper as well.
    Chips will crisp up a bit more as they cool.
    Watch the chips closely towards the end of the cooking time as they can burn quickly.
    Try these chips with your favorite nacho toppings.
    Each optional spice mix coats 1-2 tortillas.

      I like fried better, I have to admit, but these look so delish and no mess or clean up or smell! Or safety hazards! I put all kinds of spices on my chips, btw!
