    Homemade tortilla strips are crispy, crunchy, and delicious. They are quick and easy to make in just minutes using 3 simple ingredients. Serve baked tortilla strips as a snack on their own with a side of guacamole or salsa for dipping or as a topping on soups and salads.

    They are better and fresher than store-bought chips, can be completely customized with any seasoning that you like, and can be cut into different shapes like triangles so that you can have homemade tortilla chips when you have tortillas on hand but no chips.

    Why You'll Love Tortilla Strips

    • Tortilla strips are so easy to make. These baked tortilla strips are so easy to make. In fact, you could probably memorize this recipe after making them just once! Just cut your tortillas into strips, toss in oil, bake, and enjoy! It’s that easy.
    • They are the perfect topping. Store-bought tortilla chips are great to have on hand especially when you want to crush some up to op on soups and salads, but sometimes you eat them all. But, if you have tortillas on hand, it’s easy to make homemade tortilla strips in just a moments notice.
    • You can make them any size. For this tortilla strip recipe, I recommend cutting the tortillas into ½ inch strips. But, you can really cut them into any size or shape you want. For unique tortilla chips, you could even use a cookie cutter to cut out fun shapes!

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    To make Homemade Tortilla Strips, you will need the following ingredients (full quantities in recipe card below):

    • tortillas - I used 6-inch corn tortillas. You can also use flour tortillas if you prefer.
    • vegetable oil - use any vegetable oil that you have on hand including olive oil.
    • salt

    I seasoned these tortilla chips with just salt. If you want to season them with more than just salt, you totally can. Try seasoning with red chili powder, garlic powder, fajita seasoning, or nutritional yeast.

    How to Store

    Store cooked tortilla strips at room temperature for 8-10 days in an airtight container or ziploc bag. Make sure your tortilla strips are completely cooled before you store them. If not, condensation could make your chips soggy, and you don’t want that!

    • Guacamole
    • Pico de Gallo Salsa
