These fun little Crispy Baked Southwestern Tortilla Chips are such a great snack; full of flavor, they’ll satisfy any crunch cravings. I found a similar recipe in a Biggest Loser cookbook recently and I wanted to share it with you. So if you’re looking for simple and healthy snack options, I highly recommend this recipe!

I don’t know about you, but I like to snack while I work on the computer (I know, not the best habit…) and I often reach for less-healthy snack options. But now I have a much better solution. Crispy Baked Southwestern Tortilla Chips have a fantastic flavor and I can snack guilt free! A serving of 16 is only 105 calories; woo hoo for me!

How to make Crispy Baked Southwestern Tortilla Chips

These Crispy Baked Southwestern Tortilla Chips are crazy simple to make. Just cut up all those old corn tortillas sitting in your pantry into chip wedges, spray them with cooking spray, and season them with a mixture of cumin, chili powder, chipotle powder, and salt. There is some amazing spice magic goin’ on with these chips! 

Lay them out flat on baking sheets and bake them just until they’re crispy and dried out. Let them cool and you’re ready to chow down.

These chips are fantastic with This Guacamole, and This Seven Layer Dip. Enjoy and please leave a comment, I always love feedback!
