Sneha's Recipe: Cajun Tortilla Chips

Till light brown spots appear. Likewise bake the other three and keep aside

Cut the tortilla into wedges with a pizza cutter.

Place them on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.

Bake chips at 180° for 10 minutes then switch on the top element and bake again for just 3 to 4 minutes.

Switch off the oven and let it remain in the heat until crisp.

Store Cajun Tortilla Chips in an airtight container.
