I love tortilla chips! But most of the tortilla chips you can buy in the supermarket are full of trans fats, color additives and other chemical ingredients. I don’t like this, so once I made tortillas at home, I thought I had to try to make tortilla chips.
The recipe can’t be easier, you cut the tortillas, bake them just 5 minutes and add your favorite spices! We added a little of olive oil before baking, but you can skip this step.
The result is amazing, a really CRUNCHY tortilla chips with a slightly spicy flavor because of the cayenne pepper. You can use almost any spice you have at home.
This recipe is ideal if you are a lactose intolerant or a celiac, because the tortillas are made of corn flour and the recipe doesn’t include dairy products. Since a couple weeks ago, I try to avoid dairy products because I don’t feel well after eating them and many packed tortilla chips contain cheese, but with this recipe I won’t have that problem anymore.
We’ve also prepared our own vegan nacho cheese dip that tastes awesome. It has the same texture and a very similar flavor, you won’t believe it’s not real cheese! The ingredients are so simple and healthy, but be careful, it’s really addictive!

Hi there! Great recipe, I’m a huge fan of of the tortilla chips with cheese sauce (especially when going to the cinema!) and I’m so happy to find a vegan version of it.
One question. by 4 tortillas you mean: fried on the skillet or just raw dough cut into triangles?
Hi Agy! I use raw tortillas cut into triangles 🙂 Then you can bake them and add the spices, it’s super easy! You can buy them or use homemade tortillas 😀
Great! Thanks for the reply! I’ll defo be making them next weekend 🙂

Thank you Agy for reading our blog 🙂
The spice mix is pretty doggone good, and although I use a different recipe for my tortillas (and a higher temperature of 450 degree F), this a keeper for turning them into chips. Many thanks! 🙂

Thanks a lot for your comment Ashlee 🙂
The Costco brand tortilla chips are gluten-free and organic, but would they also qualify as vegan? Thanks!
Hi Alex! I’m from Spain so I can’t help you 🙁 Sorry!
There is now a Costco in Seville, so who knows, you may soon discover its wonders! 🙂
Yes! I live in Málaga, so I’ve never bought there, but I’d love to go!

Hi Izzy! It doesn’t matter, I’ve tried different types of tortillas and the recipe works, but I prefer corn tortillas 😉 Have a nice day!
Yummy this is my favorite recipe. Thanks.

Hi Lili! Yes, I’ve made it sometimes without the oil and it worked 🙂
