Homemade Tortilla Strips
I love little touches. Garnishes for food that make it all the more appealing and attractive to the taste buds. I also love chips. Yep. Chips and salsa, chips and dip, I love it all. Carbs are my weakness. We frequently have tortillas at our house to use in place of bread for things like sandwiches or small pizzas. When I only have a couple left, I love to make these strips to have on hand for soup, chili and just plain old snacking!
I love to make a big old batch of Chicken Tortilla Soup. When I do, I also love having these to garnish it with. They also put the Tortilla in Chicken Tortilla Soup!

Helpful Tips
You can easily do this method with four or corn tortillas. The method is the same for both.
While we cut these into strips, you can totally cut into triangles and do the same and make chips. Tortilla chips in a pinch!
These can be made savory or sweet. Get creative with parmesan cheese, different dried spices or even sweet spices for a sweet approach. Just use a neutral oil if you are doing a sweet profile.
These will keep in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
