Seasoned Baked Tortilla Strips
Crunchy homemade seasoned and baked tortilla strips. A perfect topping for salads, soups and more!
I’ve been pretty addicted to specific store bought tortilla strips, but for a while I haven’t been able to find them anywhere. I’ve even stopped by different stores to see if they had them, without any luck of course. Sure, plenty of other items from the same brand, but not the exact variety I wanted. Figures, right?
That’s always the way with most things. Love a certain lipstick? Better stock up on it because it’s bound to be discontinued. Love that nail polish or perfume? You get the idea…
I’d given up on finding those perfect tortilla strips again and wasn’t about to pay an outrageous price for a bulk package, which was available but the price wasn’t worth it. I have my limits. So, I finally made my own.
So whether you’re in the same boat as me, unable to find your favorite store brand or just want to make them yourself – here is an easy homemade seasoned tortilla strips recipe… baked, not fried! These are perfect for salads, soups and much much more.
