Yum ... My Healthy And Tasty Low-Fat, Low-Calorie (Vegan) Baked Tortilla Chips

Do you love chips and salsa, but hate the fat and calories that come from frying? Well, my low-fat, low-calorie baked tortilla chips are tasty, crispy, and perfect for homemade guacamole, salsa and pico de gallo dipping.
Ingredients:

24 Corn Tortillas (white or yellow corn - I prefer white)
1 Can Pam (olive oil or other monounsaturated fat spray)
1 Tbsp Sea Salt

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Cut tortillas in half, quarters, or eighths (your preference)
  • Spread cut tortillas evenly on large flat baking tray or pizza sheet, making sure not to overlap tortillas
  • Spray tortillas lightly with Pam or other healthy cooking spray
  • Sprinkle sea salt over tortillas
  • Place in oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the tray/sheet 180 degrees halfway through to ensure even browning
  • Keep an eye on the chips, ensuring they are completely browned, but not burnt (chips not totally browned will be soft and chewy, not crispy)
  • Remove from oven, cool for 5 minutes, and enjoy by dipping in my world famous Gnarly Guacamole recipe!

    CombatCritic's Awesome Air Force Chicken Piccata Recipe

    Ingredients

    • 4 chicken breasts pounded thin 
    • Salt 
    • Pepper 
    • 1 cup all purpose flour 
    • 4-5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
    • 4 tablespoons butter 
    • 1 lemon 
    • 4 cloves finely chopped garlic
