Simple Homemade Tortilla Chips

Spring has arrived and that means we are spending a lot of time in the schoolyard after the bell has rung. I am always looking for easy to make and healthy after school snacks. The kids are so hungry at the end of the day…they need a good snack. Our old standby is fruit slices, but I was looking for something more. So, I pulled out the spring themed cookie cutters and a pack of tortillas and made a batch of springtime homemade tortilla chips.simple homemade tortilla chips cover

Using a spring shaped cookie cutter, cut out tortilla chips from the tortillas. Tortillas are harder to cut through then cookie dough, so you might need to use a sharp knife to cut out the fine details. We used flour tortillas, but this recipe works for corn tortillas as well. I chose a butterfly and flower cookie cutter, but you could use any shape that reminds you of spring.homemade tortilla chips cut out

Next, toss the chips in a bowl with 2 tbsp of olive oil to lightly coat both sides of each chip. easy spring homemade tortilla chips

Arrange the chips in a single layer, on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little salt. Bake in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes – turn over and bake an additional 5 minutes. The chips should be lightly golden and crisp.homemade tortilla chips baked

Remove from the baking sheet, let them cool and enjoy.homemade tortilla chips

These light and crispy chips are super versatile. They can be eaten on their own, dipped in salsa or hummus. They make a perfect healthy after school snack. We have been enjoying our tortilla chips with President’s Choice’s new Buckwheat, Chia & Hemp Mini Hummus. My girls love the added crunch of the seeds with the creamy hummus.homemade tortilla chips with hummus

    I never would have thought of doing that with tortillas, looks fun! My favourite spring ingredient is hummus (ok not really and ingredient) but I love spreading it on sandwiches and using it for dip on nights when we’d rather get outside than cook.
