A few days ago, while making a delicious batch of Chicken Tortilla Soup (find recipe here: https://www.theginghamapron.com/chicken-tortilla-soup/) I realized we were out of tortilla chips. Now, whether it was the idea of loading three kids up to go to the store or the cold weather, I was adamant about not leaving the house. Rummaging through the pantry trying to find something to serve with this soup I came across a package of flour tortillas. Aha, light bulb moment, why not make homemade chips. We all prefer them and they are also tasty. While the soup was simmering, I whipped up these little guys in under 15 minutes.
These are also great to serve along with any appetizer that requires dipping!
