INSTRUCTIONS

BRINE
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a medium saucepan, mix the brine
ingredients, warm over a low heat and whisk thoroughly. Cut the stale
tortillas into strips or wedges. (If the tortillas are fresh, dry them by
spreading them on a baking sheet and letting them sit out, room
temperature, for 1 hour or more.) Briefly dip the tortilla pieces into the
brine, then shake off the excess water. (A longer soaking in the brine will
make the tortillas take on a more pronounced flavor.) Spread the prepared
tortilla chips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake, turning
occasionally, until they are crisp and golden brown, about 12 to 15
minutes.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

A Message from our Provider:

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
