• With a pastry brush, paint a very light coating of oil on one side of each tortilla.
• Stack the tortillas greased side up in an even pile.
• With a sharp, heavy knife (or serrated knife) cut the stack in half, then into quarters, then into eighths.
• Separate the pieces and arrange them greased side up on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Toast the chips in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until they are crisp and just beginning to brown lightly; watch them closely so they don't become over baked.

BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil. Stack the tortillas and cut the pile into sixths to make chips. Spread the chips out in a single layer on two large baking sheets and season with salt. Bake until golden brown and crisp, rotating the baking sheets once, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve.

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together and knead until just smooth and round into a ball (about 4-5 minutes). Dust the dough with flour lightly then leave to rest for half an hour under a tea towel or cling film. This doesn't rise as there is no yeast but does need time for the gluten to begin to develop
• Split the dough into either six or eight equal pieces, depending on how big you want your tortillas. You can either do this by sight (chop the dough in half and so on) or, to get the tortillas as equal as possible, weigh the dough and work out the weight for an eighth or tenth of that total. Then weigh portions out accordingly
• Put your frying pan on the hob over a medium-high heat
• Flour your work surface and roll out a ball of dough thinly (about 1-2 mm thick) and to as close to a circle as possible. Don't worry if it's a wonky 'circle' as that's all part of the hand-made charm (please note these tortillas are a little more tricky to handle than normal flour tortillas and will need a little extra flour on your work surface to stop them sticking)
• Pop the tortilla on the frying pan and toast on the first side until it is getting dark brown but not burnt. This will only be a minute or even less so keep a keen eye on it. Flip over and repeat on the other side
• While the first tortilla is dry-frying roll out the next one, but bear in mind how quick they cook! Repeat until all tortillas are browned on both sides
• When the soft tortillas are made, cut them into eight wedges each
• Have a few sheets of paper towel ready. Also, have a small bowl ready and the salt and paprika to hand
• Pour a layer of oil into the same frying pan, to a few millimeters - it doesn't have to be a huge amount of oil
• Fry as many tortilla wedges at a time as you can fit in the frying pan - fry for about one minute on each side, flipping them over as they puff up a little and brown lightly. Take them out and place on the kitchen towel to get rid of any excess oil
• Immediately (while still hot) place them in the small bowl and sprinkle over a little salt and the smoked paprika, toss them so they are covered and set aside.
• Repeat steps 10 and 11 until all of the tortillas are fried and seasoned. Serve when they are cooled and have crisped up. They'll keep for a couple of days in an airtight container

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Collect the tortillas into 2 tall stacks and cut into 6 even wedges. If frying your tortilla chips, proceed to Step 2. If baking your tortilla chips, proceed to Step 3.
• To fry your tortilla chips, line 2 large baking sheets with paper towels. Set aside. Fill a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet with about 1/2 inch vegetable oil (about 4 cups). Heat over medium until the oil reaches about 350 degrees and is hot but not smoking, 6 to 10 minutes. You can see if it's ready by dipping a tortilla wedge into the hot oil. It should bubble immediately and enthusiastically. Gently add enough tortilla wedges to fill the skillet in a single layer without crowding, and fry for about 1 minute per side, using a spider or a slotted spoon to flip them over, until lightly golden and crisp. (Do not allow them to brown too much or they will taste bitter.) Using the spider or slotted spoon, transfer the chips to the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle immediately with salt, so it adheres to the glistening chips. Repeat until all chips are cooked, transferring cooled chips to a large bowl and replacing the paper towels as needed. (Let the remaining oil cool to room temperature, then strain and transfer to a bottle to reuse it for future deep frying.)
• To bake your tortilla chips, position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 375 degrees. Brush 2 large baking sheets with oil or spray with cooking spray. Working in batches, scatter the tortilla wedges on top in a single layer without crowding too much. (The chips should barely overlap.) Lightly brush or spray the tops with oil or cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, remove from the oven, flip the chips and return to the oven, until lightly browned and crisp, another 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste, so the salt will stick to the chips. Repeat with remaining chips.
