Make Your Own Tortilla Chips

We’ve all been there when someone forgot to put the bag of tortilla chips in the cart. We always have a bag of corn tortillas in our fridge. They last forever is seems and there is never a small pack you can buy. I like making my own chips anyway just because I know mine is healthier and fresh. So easy to make. They cook faster than you having to get in your car to get that bag you forgot.

Fill a large pot with Grapeseed Oil about 1/3 from the bottom. Heat until about 375 degrees or how I test it, I drop a tiny piece of tortilla. If it sinks, it’s not ready. If it floats to the top and sizzles, then it’s ready.

Cut about 5-6 tortillas (or more) into fours

Then cook till golden brown. *Remember to watch the heat because these babies can burn quick. When done, transfer into a bowl and toss with kosher salt, then add to a different bowl lined with paper-towel.

Homemade Bread Crumbs

I use breadcrumbs for everything. I used to buy the cans of breadcrumbs until I found out how incredibly easy and affordable it is to make yourself. It’s healthier also! It’s simple and only takes you a minute or 2.

2 slices of whole wheat bread or any bread

1 tbs unsalted butter (cold)

Italian Seasoning or fresh herbs (optional)

Add bread and butter (and herbs if you wish) into a food processor

Then pulse until it is the right consistency.

Done and ready to Bake!
