Homemade Baked Chili Cheese Fritos
If you want just regular Fritos, toss with sea salt only instead of all the seasonings.

Total Time:
Ingredients:
| 6 | yellow corn tortillas |
| 2 or 3 tablespoons | olive oil |
| 1.5 teaspoons | sea salt |
| 1.5 teaspoons | chili powder |
| 1 teaspoon | each cumin, onion powder, garlic powder |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 380 degrees F.
Add all spices and seasonings to a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut your tortillas into equal strips (see photo).
Transfer to baking sheet and toss in 2-3 Tbsp olive oil until well coated.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch out, they’ll burn quickly past the 14-15 minute mark.
Once removed from the oven, immediately add tortilla strips to the seasoning mix and toss to coat. If they appear to have dried in the oven while baking, you can spritz them with a little oil so the seasonings stick better.
Transfer to a serving bowl or plate with a slotted spatula to shake off excess seasoning. You’ll likely have extra seasoning, which you can store for later use if desired.
Serve immediately with
chili
, soup or dips. Store leftovers in a storage bag or tupperware at room temp for up to a couple days, though best when fresh.
