Spiced Curly Tortilla Chips


Title: Spiced Curly Tortilla Chips
Categories: June 1995
Yield: 1 servings

Sixteen; (6-inch) corn
; tortillas
1/4 c Vegetable oil; about
1 1/2 tb Chili powder
3/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Sugar

Preheat oven to 350F.

Brush both sides of tortillas with oil and with scissors cut each tortilla
into about 5 randomly shaped wavy strips. In 2 large shallow baking pans
arrange half of strips in one layer. (Strips should curl up on their own,
but if necessary gently twist or fold them over.)

In a small bowl combine chili powder, salt, and sugar and through a small
sieve sprinkle half of mixture over tortilla strips in pans. Bake tortilla
strips in upper and lower thirds of oven until just crisp, 6 to 8 minutes,
and transfer to paper towels to cool. Make more chips in same manner with
remaining tortilla strips and chili mixture.

Serves 8 as an hors d'oeuvre.
