Recipes...
FRESH-BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS
These low-fat chips are a deliciously crispy accompaniment for several Metro Market Soups including Spicy Brazilian Black Bean with Orange & Jalapeno, Tomatillo-Corn Chowder, and Southwest Tomato-Squash with Chili. Follow the link below to see our complete list of hand-crafted frozen soups.

INGREDIENTS:
Fresh Corn Tortillas (white or yellow)
Vegetable Oil (corn, canola or olive)
Kosher or Sea Salt (optional)
Equipment needed: pastry brush, baking sheet(s)
METHOD: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (or 325 degrees convection). Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with oil. Stack tortillas and cut into wedges (6ths or 8ths) or strips. Lay out pieces in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Lightly sprinkle with salt (or not). Bake on a rack towards the middle of the oven for 10 minutes; rotate sheet and bake for another 5 minutes. If needed bake for an additional two minutes (or more) until chips are an even deep (but not dark) golden brown. Every oven is slightly different so it's important to check your chips often and note the actual time it takes for future reference; it may even take less time. The chips will become crispier as they cool. When cool they can be stored in an air-tight container for up to a week but they are best the same day.
