I don’t know about you, but when I go out to Mexican restaurants the basket of chips at the beginning is my favorite. I like the ones that are hot like they just got out of the fryer and are slightly salty. If it was possible, I would just go in and eat those, but the servers kind of frown on that. So when I had some corn tortillas in the fridge left over from when I made some tacos, I knew just what I wanted to do with them. I fried a few up and while they were still hot tossed them in fresh lime juice, kosher salt and a little chili powder for a kick. Yum!

Rita: I bet this would be delicious on corn, I’ll have to give that a try next time I get my hands on some fresh corn. I haven’t tried to make these in the oven, but I have heard that it is pretty easy. All you need to do is lightly brush them with a little olive oil and bake them in a single layer at 350 degrees until they are crispy.
Thanks Debbie!
