Corn Chips Recipes

HOMEMADE CORN CHIPS RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making this corn chips recipe, first mix your cornmeal and flour together.
• Add the oil and mix well.
• Add enough water to make a paste, but keep it on the drier side and mix well.
• When the paste forms a dough, sprinkle some cornmeal on a cutting board and roll out the dough. Sprinkle the dough every so often to keep it from sticking. Roll out as thin as you like. I like mine a bit thicker so they will hold on to dips without breaking.
• Cut to the size you want and place it on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake for about 10-15 minutes at 375°F. Keep an eye on them as thinner chips can get done and burn much faster than thicker ones.

CORN TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In small batches, fry the corn tortilla wedges until crisp. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Salt to taste while warm.

CRAZY-GOOD CORN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut each tortilla in 1/2. Cut each 1/2 into 3 triangles.
• Spray a baking sheet lightly with nonstick spray. Place tortilla triangles close together on the sheet.
• Cover triangles with a 1-second spray of nonstick spray (optional). Evenly sprinkle with salt.
• Bake in the oven until crispy, about 8 minutes, carefully flipping about halfway through bake time.
• Serve with salsa for dipping, if using. Enjoy!

DELICIOUS BAKED CORN CHIPS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange corn tortillas in a single layer, with no overlap, on a baking sheet. Brush tortillas with oil; sprinkle garlic salt, oregano, and chili powder on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven, with the door slightly ajar, until crispy, about 7 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes before serving.

CORN CHIP PIE

Steps:

• Take corn chips out of bag (or and open bag and leave chips in).
• Place shredded cheese on top. Pour Pinto Beans over the cheese (hot beans help melt the cheese quicker). Sprinkle Brisket on top. Garnish with BBQ Sauce.
• Preheat a smoker or oven for cooking at about 225 degrees F.
• Trim brisket fat on the deckle (large side) just enough to where there is still fat covering the meat. (You do not need to trim the pork butt.) Stir together the pepper, salt, sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Apply the rub to all sides of the meat thoroughly. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place in smoker or oven and let cook until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F, about 12 hours.
• Let sit 30 minutes, then chop meat.
• Cover beans with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil to get the outer layer off. Boil 2 minutes, then drain all water and put beans back in pot. Add water to cover 2 inches above the top of the beans. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, saute the onions, jalapenos and garlic in some oil in another pan until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, then let simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes and add to the bean pot. Add the garlic pepper, chili powder and salt to the bean pot and let simmer, stirring every 20 minutes, until soft, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Mix the ketchup, vinegar, molasses, steak sauce, mustard, Worcestershire, BBQ rub, garlic pepper, black pepper, cinnamon and 3 quarts water in a 5-gallon bucket.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Dry the tortillas: The tortilla chips will fry better if they are a bit dried out first. Either leave the whole tortillas out overnight, exposed to air so they are stale the next day, or dry them out a bit in the oven or microwave. To dry them in the oven: lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes or 200°F for 10 minutes. Or lay them out in a single layer (working in batches) on a paper towel in a microwave oven and microwave them for 20 to 60 seconds, depending on how strong your microwave is and how many tortillas you are drying. You don't want them crisp at this point, just as dry as they would be if you left them out overnight.
• Cut each tortilla into 6 triangle shaped wedges
• Heat the oil in the pan: Pour oil into a medium skillet to a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. (Make sure you are working with a completely dry pan or the oil will sputter as it heats.) Heat the oil on medium high heat until a small piece of tortilla placed in the oil sizzles, about 350°F. (This is where an infrared thermometer comes in handy!) If a small tester piece of tortilla browns too quickly, the oil is too hot. Remove the pan from heat to let the oil cool a bit before continuing.
• Fry the tortilla chips: Place a paper towel on a large plate and have several other paper towels ready. Place a handful of tortilla triangles into the hot oil, in a single layer. Use metal tongs, a metal slotted spoon, or long wooden chopsticks to distribute the tortilla triangles. Be sure they aren't overlapping and that all sides get coated with oil. Fry for about 2 minutes until the chips just begin to lightly brown and get firm, and are no longer pliable.
• Move chips to a paper-towel-lined plate: Use the tongs, slotted spoon or wooden chopsticks, remove the chips from the oil to the paper-towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Place another paper towel over the top of the chips to be ready for the next batch. (Note that as soon as you put the tortilla triangles into the hot oil, because you are working with such a small volume of oil, the oil temperature will lower. You can compensate for this by increasing the heat to high. As soon as the chips begin to color, reduce the heat to low, so the oil doesn't overheat in between batches.) Continue to cook the chips, working in batches, placing the freshly fried chips over a new layer of paper towel each time, and sprinkling with salt. When the chips are all fried, pat any excess oil from them with a fresh paper towel, and eat! These chips are best eaten when warm and freshly made.
• Preheat the oven and cut tortilla chips: Preheat the oven to 350°F. While the oven preheats, cut the tortillas into wedges
• Place on baking sheet: Spread the tortilla wedges out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake: Bake the tortilla wedges for about 6 minutes, then use tongs to turn the wedges over. Sprinkle with a little salt, and bake for another 6 to 9 minutes, until they are just beginning to color. Remove from the oven and let cool. Sprinkle with more salt to serve.
• Cut the tortillas into wedges:
• Line your microwave: Use a paper towel to line the bottom of the microwave.
• Microwave the chips: Working in batches if necessary, spread the tortilla wedges over the paper towel in a single layer, with an inch or so between the wedges. Microwave until the tortilla chips are crispy, but not burnt. The time will vary depending on the strength of your microwave and how many tortillas you are cooking. In our microwave, it's about a little less than 1 minute per tortilla. But start at half of that and add time as needed. Sprinkle with salt to serve. Great with guacamole .

HOMEMADE CORN CHIPS

Steps:

• Mix the masa flour & salt in a small bowl and add 1/2 cup of hot water. Stir together until a dough forms. Add more water if necessary to make a dough that is not sticky but is not too crumbly.
• Cover with a tea towel and let the dough rest for 2 hours.
• Split the dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls.
• Take a dough ball and place it between 2 pieces of baking paper. Using a flat plate or a cake tin (anything with a flat bottom) press down on the ball to flatten it, or use a tortilla press if you have one.
• Using a rolling pin, finish rolling out the tortilla until it is super thin and about 6 inches across.
• Repeat with all dough balls.
• Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat.
• Cook tortillas for 1 minute on each side - they will start to curl up around the edges on the first side and will slightly char and puff up on the second side.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
• Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with oil (no need to let them cool down) and sprinkle with salt. Cut into triangles.
• Bake for 5 minutes, remove from oven and flip over before baking for another 5 minutes, keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't burn.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Store in an airtight container.
