I was craving some hummus and I didn't have any chips. I cant eat regular tortilla chips because I have GERD and can't eat fried foods. When I saw this recipe I ran right into the kitchen to make it. I used almond flour Siete brand tortilla's. I get them at Costco. I added some lime juice to the water spray bottle. I cut the tortilla' s in half and then into 6 triangles. I placed them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and sprinkled them with 'Bragg organic SPRINKLE 24 herbs and spices' salt free (amazon) and only had to bake them for 5 minutes at 375. OMG!!! They turned out so good! and the perfect match with hummus. I cant stop eating them!!! Oh no Im addicted!!! :*)

For an additional flavor experience, you can spray with lime juice instead of water to help your spices adhere.

Would lime juice work as well as water for more taste?

Sally

I would just add it to the water for a zing. You don't need much.

Trader Joes has great corn tortillas, 3 ingredients: corn, water, lime. I cook mine in my air fryer and they come out great!

Judith Fogarty

What brand carries oil free tortillas?

Naomi M

If you could find Ezekiel sprouted corn tortillas at a co-op or some place then those should be oil free! I’ve also seen oil free brands locally. Not sure the brand names, but I remember the ingredients list.

Lia

Corn tortillas from the store don’t usually have oil in them.

Sally

Siete Brand. They are grain free made from almond flour. They are gmo free, vegan, paleo, gluten free, dairy free soy free . And they turn out delicious with this recipe. I added lime juice to the water. OMG! really good. 5 minutes at 350*. I sprinkled them with Braggs Organic Sprinkle Herbs from Amazon.

Theresa Boucher

I have made chips before just like this. I usually cut tortillas in 6ths but wanted to try a bigger chip, less flipping. I also put some lime in my water spray for flavor.

Sally

Hey Theresa, I didn't even have to flip mine. 5 minutes at 350* was perfect.
