Quick and easy-to-make nacho chips is a popular choice in Mexico. The homemade baked tortilla chips are baked and made with minimal oil from a blend of more whole wheat flour than maize flour instead of the traditional Mexican tortillas made with maize flour and refined flour which are also deep fried.

Whole wheat flour has been used as it abounds in fibre which aids in controlling blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Heart patients, weight watchers and diabetics can enjoy these healthy tortilla chips with Tomato Salsa and tickle their taste buds by enjoying its lively flavours.

You can also make a large batch of these oven baked nacho chips at one go and store them in an air-tight container for the contingencies when hunger strikes... unexpectedly. But remember to savour it occasionally in small quantities. Of course the traditional use of oodles of cheese sauce on these baked tortilla chips is best avoided!

Tips for baked tortilla chips. 1. Carom seeds can be replaced with dried mixed herbs. 2. Pricking is necessary to make the tortilla chips crisp. 3. Always place the baking tray in the middle shelf of the oven. This ensures uniform baking. Also after baking, cool before serving or storing.

I don''t see water or any liquid in the recipe as one has to use liquid in order to form a dough. Please explain why the liquid is left out.

Great recipe, thanks for this. I have a doubt , why are we cooking it on the tawa first and then baking it . Could we not bake it directly while skipping the tawa bit?

   Cooking on tava initially helps to speeden up the cooking process. If you wish you can avoid this step and adjust the baking time accordingly.

This recipe is made using less maize flour and more wheat flour but the taste is quite satisfying. Baking gives it the perfect crispness... My father loved it and I am happy that though he is a diabetic he can now indulge in this snack occasionally.
