Spicy Baked Tortilla Strips
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
(2) 10-inch flour tortillas
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1-1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (salt to your preference)
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon Serrano smoked chili powder
Place the 2 tortilla shells on a cookie sheet, on top of each other. Carefully, cut the tortilla shells crosswise in 1/2 inch strips; place on a large cookie sheet.
(I use cooking scissors).
Whisk the olive oil, salt, pepper and Serrano smoked chili powder in a medium bowl.
Toss the strips in the oil mixture and coat. Spread the coated tortilla strips in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
Bake the tortilla strips in a preheated 425 degree oven for approximately 7-10
minutes or until golden. Check after 4 minutes, the strips burn easily. Place the
baked chips on wire racks lined with parchment paper to cool. After the chips are
cool and feel crisp, store them in a covered container for up to 3 days.
