Yummy Crunchy Lime Tortillas

This is a simple and effective way to improve store-bought tortillas. You’ll even have some tangy lime salt left over to use on fish, poultry, soups and salads.

6 to 8 servings

SALT WITH LIME

• Zest of 4 limes
• 175 mL (¾ cup) sea salt

LIME FLAVORED TORTILLAS

• 2 L (8 cups) unsalted tortilla chips
• 15 mL (1 tbsp.) lime juice
• 5 mL (1 tsp.) lime salt, or to taste

HOW TO :

For the lime salt;

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine lime peel and salt well. Sprinkle salt evenly over baking sheet.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the zest is dry, but do not brown it.

Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

For the lime-flavoured tortilla chips;

preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Spread chips evenly on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with lime juice.

Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until hot, crisp and golden.

Sprinkle immediately with lime salt. Serve warm.
