We all know that nowadays Tortilla/Nacho chips are readily available in the market as people of all age groups enjoy snacking it every time. But these tasty baked nacho chips when you make them at home, it tastes even better. Baking chips at home is easier than you think and are healthier too.

Baked Nacho Chips

Mexican tortilla chips or nachos are made using the combination of maize flour with whole wheat flour, as maize flour is gluten free and that’s why whole wheat flour is added to give little stickiness to dough while rolling it. I have flavored these chips with carom seeds and dried oregano. I made them healthy by baking it rather than frying. You can also try them by deep frying them in oil until they become crispy.

Nacho chips are made by cutting the tortilla in a triangular shape so it can be best enjoyed as an appetizer with various dips like guacamole, classic tomato salsa, mango salsa, sour cream, melted cheese, or bean dip.

These Mexican chips are super versatile and also accompanied with Mexican nacho soup, burrito bowl, salads or rice.

Nacho chips can be stored in an airtight container up-to 7-8 days.
