Microwave 'Baked' Tortilla Chip recipe

Preparation time : 10 minutes .

Cooking time : 30 minutes (about 5-7 minutes per batch).

Ingredients

• 12 corn tortillas
• Vegetable oil for brushing or misting
• Salt, preferably kosher or sea salt

Preparation

1. Lay the tortillas out on a cutting board, lightly spray, brush or mist both sides with oil, then cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. Lay the wedges out in a single layer on the bottom of the microwave oven. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes.
2. Turn the tortilla wedges over and microwave for another 1 1/2 minutes. Continue turning and microwaving at 1 1/2-minute intervals, moving the wedges around if some seem to be browning more than others, until they are crisp (remember, as they cool, they'll crisp even more).
3. Total microwaving time is likely to be 5-7 minutes. Immediately toss the chips with salt and serve. Makes 72 chips.
