INSTRUCTIONS
A delicious low-fat, low-sodium alternative to conventional corn chips.
They go especially well with Guacamole and Spicy Salsa (see separate
recipes).
Immerse tortillas one at a time in water. Let drain briefly, then lay
flat.
If desired, sprinkle tops lightly with salt.
Cut each tortilla into 6 to 8 wedges.
Cover a nonstick baking sheet with a single layer of tortilla wedges, salt
side up. Place close together but do not overlap.
Bake in a 500 F oven for 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula; then continue to
bake until golden brown and crisp, an additional 3 minutes for corn
tortillas and 1 minute for flour tortillas. (Store in an airtight bag until
ready to serve.)

A Message from our Provider:
“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
