Try this recipe for homemade tortilla chips and elevate your taco nights to a whole new level of deliciousness. Making your own tortillas from scratch is not only satisfying but also surprisingly simple. Here’s how to make them.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup of warm water
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted lard

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the warm water and vegetable oil or melted lard.
  2. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions and shape each portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes.
  4. After the dough has rested, heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
  5. Carefully transfer the rolled-out tortilla to the hot skillet and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown spots begin to form. As each tortilla cooks, transfer it to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Serve the homemade tortillas warm with your favorite fillings and toppings.

Spanish tortilla is completely different from Mexican tortillas. Spanish tortilla is actually an omelette dish made with potatoes and eggs, although you can add more ingredients to it if you like, such as meat or cheese. This dish is a staple in Spanish life all over the country, and although it takes some practice to perfect, it is pretty easy to make.

Recipe

An easy way to make Spanish tortilla is by using a pan that you can use on the stove and then transfer to the oven. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to put the contents of the pan into a baking dish when the time comes.

  1. Start off by slicing up some onions. Cook them over low heat in butter and oil for about 10-15 minutes until they are translucent.
  2. Peel and chop up potatoes into really thin slices or small cubes and then add them to the onions in the pan.
  3. Cover the pan and stir so they don’t burn, and cook for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft.
  4. Scramble a few eggs together and pour over the potato mixture.
  5. Bake in the oven at 375 F for about 15 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden on top and just cooked through.

Tortilla chips are a tasty and versatile snack. The crispy triangles stand up to the thickest guacamoles, salsas and dips. Heck, their salty corn flavor even makes them a tasty treat right out of the bag.

But if you want to coax some magical flavors out of a snack aisle, turn that bag of chips into a festive plate of chicken nachos. It’s easy and delicious. Here’s how:

It All Starts With A Big Bag Of Crispy Chips

White corn restaurant-style chips are light and crispy, not like the overly-crunchy and more rustic dense yellow-corn tortilla chips. The lighter-style chip works best as a nacho base because the chips will get toasted in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, line a baking sheet with foil, and lay down a base of chips.

Add Copious Amounts Of Cheese, Chicken and Whatever Else You’d Like

Sprinkle a cup of shredded mild cheddar or taco-style cheese over the chips. Pre-cooked chicken makes a delicious and convenient nacho protein choice. Anything from a shredded rotisserie chicken meat or packaged grilled chicken strips will work. Other great add-ons include sliced green onions, drained black beans and pickled jalapenos.

Bake, Jazz-up And Enjoy

Toss that sheet pan into the oven for 9-10 minutes, until the cheese is nicely melted and the chip edges brown slightly. Now is the time to add a zip of freshness and truly elevate the snack to a meal. Fresh tomatoes, avocado slices, salsa, chopped cilantro, and drizzled sour cream all counterbalance the richness of the melted cheese and savory chicken.

Transfer to a platter and dig into your masterpiece.
