For a super-easy treat that will wow your guests, serve homemade baked tortilla chips. This dish is so simple, it doesn’t even need an ingredient list!

Baked Tortilla Chips

Heat 1 cup water to boiling and add 1/3 cup salt. Stir until salt has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Brush both sides of a dozen corn tortillas with oil. Stack tortillas and slice into triangles. Lay oiled chips in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated 400 degree oven until crispy and golden. While chips are baking, move cooled salt solution to a spray bottle. Immediately after removing chips from oven, spritz lightly with salt water. Serve warm with your favorite salsa.

Variation 1: Lime Chips

Replace 1/2 cup of the water with freshly squeezed lime juice. Goes great with beer!

Variation 2: Spicy Chips

Stir a shot (or several, depending on taste) of hot sauce into the salt water before spraying. Be sure to warn your guests if it’s super-hot!
