How to Make Tortilla Chips
If chips and salsa or chips and guacamole are your go-to snack food, then we challenge you to learn how to make tortilla chips. Even if you're not making the salsa and guac from scratch (but we encourage you to try it, because you'll get hooked!), when you make your own tortilla chips you can play around with color and flavor and customize your chips for your particular tastes. This recipe uses Cajun seasoning, but you could substitute almost any spice blend. These chips are baked instead of fried, and don't contain any added preservatives, so they're better for you than most prepackaged tortilla chips.
