How to Make Corn Tortilla Chips, From Scratch!

[@gyounce1]

Thank you 🙏🏽!! I have two bags of corn flour that my sister gave me (for some reason), and I didn't know what I could do with them. I thought, "Hey, you can probably make tortilla chips out of them!". I'm always craving tortilla chips, so this is actually so awesome. I'll probably flavor them with different spices, too. See if I can make Doritos.

[@thelwell256]

Thank you. Very nice of you to put the recipe in the description. Definitely easy and looking good. Thanks.

[@jeaneaton2731]

Wow ! Glad your making these ! I was just looking at Freeze dried taco mix, and thought how I would make my own Chips! Funny you just popped on ! We’re having a storm also . Stay safe! ❤

This is great! Thank you so much I was looking for a recipe from scratch. I'm glad that I can use my manual pasta maker.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Toni... thanks again for sharing all your knowledge and experience. I pray that you always have provisions and plenty.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thank you so much!

[@cindiacostner1171]

Looking forward to trying the chips. Never thought of using my Kitchen Aid attachment to roll out the dough!!! That will be a huge help! Thanks!

[@elainemarie1473]

It would never have occurred to me to use the pasta press for tortillas! Thanks for that 😅

You are so welcome!

Hi Toni - those tortilla chips look amazing

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thanks so much

[@donnad57]

You made that look so easy!

It was!

[@katrinaDS]

I’m definitely going to make these.

[@marciadonnelly4693]

Awesome job. They look delicious.

Thank You!

HELLO I MADE YOUR CHIPS - I ADDED 1/8 TSP OF GARLIC POWDER , 1/8 TSP OF ONION POWDER & 1/2 TSP CHILLI POWDER - I ROLLED MINE WITH CORN FLOUR IT WAS VERY EASY AND DIDN'T STICK TO MY BOARD - THANKS FOR THE RECIPE GOD BLESS YOU AMEN!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Sounds great!

[@gsdalpha1358]

Those look awesome! I broke down two weeks ago and bought a cast iron tortilla press, thinking tortillas can be used for sandwiches if necessary. You know - less prep, less cook time, especially if the oven doesn't work but a campfire does. I never thought about making chips! They, too, could be used for scooping up food - and especially salsa! One of my "bell pepper" plants wound up being a hot (really hot) pepper! No idea what kind. It looks like a large and long jalapeño so I took a bite. Ye gods! Husband thought I was being a drama queen so HE took a bite. If I hadn't been gasping from the burn so much, it would've been funny. I'm going to can up long slices of jalapeño (we still have a dozen jars of salsa), and add a slice or two of the hot one. I LOVE spicy but not when it scorches - lol. Btw, those tomatoes look beautiful!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Yes, I was glad to find real nice tomatoes...may go back for more...we'll see after this lot has been processed!

[@KristaJ73]

When using the Masa you use hot water and do let it rest for 30 minutes.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thank You!

[@ludvigtande1236]

Thanks to your tutorial I have the courage to try it ❤️

[@annmarie3520]

They look really good!!!😘❤🙏🏻✨

[@independentthinker8930]

I worked maintenance at a place that made snack foods, Golden Flake, they made these, interesting to see how they make them, potato chip, cheese puffs and curls, corn chips on industrial level. Oh, they taste SO much better fresh out of the cooker than out of the bag

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

no doubt!

[@patsmall4386]

Those are coming out really nice they look yummy

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thank You!

[@marypeterson3512]

How did they taste?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

good, like homemade!

[@9tenabigfathen403]

You read my mind! I was just thinking earlier today I’d like to try this.

[@bonniehoehne6501]

They looked good!

[@han_cx245]

What no taste test for us. They do look delicious. I would have not thought to use the pasta maker to roller these out. Wonderful ! 😊😊

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thank You!

[@suec9529]

I was wondering the same. She never said if they were good.

[@jeaneaton2731]

Okay Toni, I must correct you on this being an almost native of Arizona-lol! You don't pronounce the "" ll's" in tortillas! Tor-te-as! 💜 from your friend in WA 🇺🇸😎🇨🇦

[@jenniferrosario1489]

Well that will depend on where you were raised. As Latina I do pronounce and so do many others

[@adessachui7777]

You don't need that though. My friend does it with his hands

[@maureenliew7686]

Fantastically done. From here where chips bought in packets costing out of the world, its better to make them at hime. But what kind of the yellowish looking corn flour are you using? Not the ones we use for thickening soups or liquids?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I just used a fine ground corn meal and have recently experimented with masa.

[@midwestern925]

I used homemade corn tortillas and cut them into triangles, briefly deep fried and my restaurant customers loved them.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

awesome!

[@louisepatteson9652]

Will sunflower oil work? It’s a great frying oil

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

It should

[@joshuaa3075]

DO NOT use vegetable oil such as Sunflower Oil. It is not healthy and in fact toxic especially when frying. It is Bad for your health and causes problems in your whole body. Peanut oil, coconut oil, lard and beef tallow are safe but I do not know which is best for frying the chips. Stay away from Canola, Safflower, Soy, Corn, Sunflower, grapeseed, cottonseed and rice bran oils.

I buy my Roma tomatoes at Loblaws , usually stocked by now, fingers crossed they get them in soon. I usually get 100 pounds for salsa

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I wasn't aware that Loblaws sold tomatoes by the 50lbs..but it stands to reason that they would, I haven't seen any grocery stores with bulk stock yet.

[@jeanflaig6903]

Beautiful Roma's!

Ok thanks So does that mean there is an electric tortilla pres

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

No!

[@irvinetitley2381]

@@HerHomesteadSkills where can I get one like yours

[@shodson314]

I’m thinking you could run the dough through in a long rectangle like you’re making lasagne noodles then use a pizza cutter to cut them into triangles like Doritos

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Yes you could!

[@anovino1992]

Beautiful, Toni, the doctor say that conala oils are bad for our bodies, especially our heart.

[@maureenliew7686]

Yup! Agreed.

Did I miss the Salt in the mix

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

add 1/4 teaspoon salt, mix with the flour!

[@adessachui7777]

If you know how to do that, you can make empanadas with canned beef, pork, etc. My Costa Rican friend made me some from canned beef. You can add what you want.

[@kevinewing-oo8ix]

Ugh. Were they crunchy? Did you like them? Would you make it again?

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

yes, yes, yes..

[@lindab2144]

Those look yummy...I'd prefer the more crispy ones you did 1st.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Me too!

[@MsAtom70]

add garlic cilantro or parsley and a dash of salt to your salsa too

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Yup..

[@47retta]

I was waiting on a taste test. Normally, you have to use masa to make these. I've never seen it done with corn meal.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

ah, I thought they were good, when Mark came home I offered them to him, he thought they were great!
