Homemade Salsa and Chips

This is my new favorite party snack! I adapted the salsa recipe from allrecipes.com, but I changed it up a bit. The chips are my own. :-)

Homemade Chips:
Ingredients:
-6 inch tortillas (2 tortillas per serving)

Directions:
-Set oven at 475 and move rack to second rung from top
-Lightly spray and wipe off baking sheet
-Cut tortillas into 6 triangles and place on baking sheet
-Bake for 5-10 minutes (until light brown on edges)
-Flip and bake for another couple of minutes


Cooking time can vary depending on how crispy you want them.

Nutrition info: 160 for 12 chips (2 tortillas)

Exchange options: Corn tortillas, etc. The Cedar's brand are sodium heavy, so just watch out for that.
