Total time: 20 min
Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Ingredients: 12 corn tortillas (about 5-6 inches in diameter); 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or other high-heat neutral oil); juice from 1/2 lime; 1 - 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

Tex-Mex

Bowl

Whisk

Pastry Brush

Arrange 6 tortillas in one even layer one rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 6 tortillas on a separate baking sheet.

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and lime juice.

Using a pastry brush, brush a bit of the oil/lime mixture of both sides of each tortilla. Use just enough to slightly moisten each side - you don&#39;t need much.

Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt on each side of the tortillas.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden. Carefully flip over the tortillas and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the tortillas are firm and crispy. Watch them closely so they don&#39;t burn. If they are still flimsy in the middle, bake in additional 1 to 2 minute increments until the desired texture is reached. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

To serve, load them up with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
