Spicy Tortilla Triangles
Serves 4 (8 chips per serving)
Easy and quick to prepare, these tasty little bites are perfect for scooping up any low-carb dip or salsa. Their flavors remind us of the spicy pita crisps served at Trios, a favorite restaurant of ours in Little Rock, Arkansas. Try them with our Black Soybean Hummus for a casual hors d’ouvre with a Middle Eastern flair.
Ingredients
4 small (taco sized) low carb tortillas
2 tablespoons (approximately) olive oil
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons fine salt
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
- Mix all the spices together in a zip closure bag. (If you make these chips often, you might want to triple or quadruple the spice blend recipe to have it ready to use.)
- Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil and evenly sprinkle on the spice blend.
- Turn the tortillas over and repeat step 2 on the other side.
- Cut the seasoned tortillas into 8 triangles, as you would a pie.
- Place all the triangles in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 200-degree F oven for about 20 minutes. Check them midway through, flip, and rearrange if their edges are becoming too brown.
- Serve soon as the chips will wilt and loose some of their appeal if left to sit at room temperature for too long.
