Baked vs. Fried

Why cut something out of your diet that you love when you can still have it? Just a different way..
A great way to substitute something high in fat is to replace it with the same thing-but lower in fat. I love having control over what is in my food. That's why I love this:

Homemade Baked tortilla chips
4 corn tortillas cut into 8 pieces (pizza cutter works great for this)
1 1/2 TBSP olive oil
lime juice to taste
garlic salt to taste

Mix up the oil, lime juice, and garlic salt. Layer your tortillas evenly on a baking sheet. With a kitchen rubber brush (what the heck is that called?) lightly glaze the tops of the tortillas. Bake at 350 for 5 minutes, then turn over and bake for 4-5 more minutes. Each oven is different, so just watch them close so they don't burn. But cook them long enough that they are crispy.

Yum!
