Today is National Corn Chip Day! My son is always intrigued with all the food holidays there are.  ~smile~  Super easy to do and better for you than store bought.

Homemade Corn Chips

Corn Tortillas, very thin

kosher salt

olive oil cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Spray cookie sheet

Cut tortillas in to 6 wedges

Place on cookies sheet and spray with olive oil cooking spray.

Bake in a preheated oven for 3 minutes, check bottoms and turn over if starting to brown.  Cook an additional 3-6 minutes, depending on your oven.  

Sprinkle with salt once they come out of the oven.

I served ours with salsa that I added pineapple to.  YUM!  

To 1 cup store bought salsa, add 1/4 to 1/2 diced or chopped, pineapple.  Try adding black beans, rinsed well and whole kernel corn also.
