Try these homemade baked coconut oil corn tortilla chips! They’r easy to make an taste delicious.
My family loves corn tortilla chips. I will admit that organic corn chips are one of the few packaged foods I still purchase on a regular basis. We use them for making nacho’s and for snacking. The chips I purchase are fried in corn oil…which isn’t a healthy oil to consume.
I was really hesitant to make my own tortilla chips. I didn’t want to have to fry several batches of tortillas just to enjoy a snack or to make nachos. So I decided to be “lazy” and tried baking them instead. To my surprise, they turned out wonderful! And I can’t tell you how easy these were to make!

- Serve warm or let them cool and store in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
Can I sun dry or dry the coconut shaft through sun
What about melting coconut oil and putting it in a spray bottle to cover both sides after putting them on the baking sheets? Less wasted oil may not even have to turn over to cook & brown
Can you tell me where you are finding the Non-GMO corn tortillas?
I thought corn is a grain ? I am new to all these blog and just asking.
Corn is a grain, but it’s gluten free. This recipe is tagged gluten free but not grain free. 🙂
can i use virgin coconut oil?
Sure!
Almost all corn is GMO corn and that is an unpleasant thought. I do eat almost everything made with coconut oil.
Maybe spreading them with coconut oil before you cut them would make it easier AND every little teeny part would be covered in glorious coconut oil. I am sure going to try these. Thanks!
good idea Lisa, I’m going to do it that way.

I wonder if sprinkling shredded coconut and cocnut sugar on them would make them a healthy sweet option?
I think it would taste great 🙂

This is such a creative idea! I’m going to try this when I’m done with the GAPS diet. Tortilla chips were my favorite treat before GAPS, and I always cringed because they were fried in vegetable oil of some kind.
Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I had a craving for tortilla chips and didn’t have any in the house, however I did have some flour tortillas in the freezer! I was curious to know whether substituting flour tortillas for corn tortillas would work, and it turned out perfectly. The chips were crisp, flaky and golden brown. Yum!
That’s great, Becca! I’m glad they turned out :).
