Recipe: Tropical Snacks


These snacks are crunchy and definitely low fat. Don't expect the taste of a potato chip!
Another thing you can do requires only a stack of tortilla chips, seasonings, a pizza cutter, and time in your oven.
Stack the tortillas several to a layer. Use the pizza cutter to cut them into wedges. Lay them out on a sheet pan. Sprinkle them with whatever are your favorite flavorings, such as chili powder for a Mexican flavor, creole seasoning for a taste of New Orleans, or garlic powder for an Italian flair. I've even sprinkled a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon to satisfy a sweet tooth. The choice is yours.
Bake in your oven for a few minutes. In mine, about 10-15 minutes was all I needed.
Set them out with a bit of salsa or cheese dip for the non-sweet ones, and enjoy. It may take a few tries to find your personal flavor. Be persistent. However, be warned they do not store well. After a few days they're more stale than yesterday's news. Break them up and use them on top of a casserole or something.
