Enjoy your homemade Christmas tortilla chips! Add your tortilla chips as an accompaniment to the DIY Edible Vegetable Tree for a healthy appetizer guests will enjoy.
TIPS: The thickness of your tortilla will determine how long to bake the tortilla. My oven happens to run hot so I found 325 degrees was adequate; I also kept a close eye on the baking tortillas after 7-8 minutes.
I found warming up the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds softened the tortilla and made it easier to cut out your chips with the cookie cutters. Keeping the cookie cutter shapes fairly simple will speed up the process of cutting out the chips.
SERVING IDEAS: Mix the Christmas tortilla chips in with regular tortilla chips or really make your chips bright and cheery by using the red and green store bought tortilla chips to mix with your own homemade chips.
