This Crunchy Tortilla Chips Recipe Will Leave You Wanting More

Have you ever found yourself halfway through a bag of tortilla chips only to realize the dip sits waiting to be used? Not everyone, but a lot of people can relate to that. And that crunch? To some people, pure bliss. Just imagine if you could make tortilla chips all by yourself that are impressively crunchy, crispy and golden, not to mention feel-good ingredients.

As far as the “snack cravings” go, this recipe certainly doesn’t miss any boxes. It offers a tad bit of health alongside style, and—if you play your tortilla wraps just right—a whole lot of persona. If you stick around for a little longer, you will learn what are tortillas made from, the true meaning behind multigrain, and the fun spin Indian kitchens are putting on this classic Mexican dish.

What is the actual recipe to make tortilla chips?

Let's go in reverse for a second. To a lot of cooks, tortilla chips were a commendable way to reuse old or left over tortillas in Mexican households—just cut them into pieces, fry or bake them, and there you have it. A delicious crunchy snack.

In the past, tortillas were commonly prepared from corn flour (maize) or wheat flour. But today, wraps go far beyond plain white flour. At Habanero, you will find wraps made from multigrain, beetroot and carrot, tomato and herb, and even spinach. And yes, they do make fantastic tortilla chips at home. (And the chip we'll be discussing has unparalleled color, flavor, and crunch).

Okay but... why make tortilla chips at home?

Fair question. You could just grab a pack off the shelf, right?

But when you make them at home:

• You control the oil (or go oil-free if you’re baking)
  

• You can season them however your mood demands—chili-lime today, garlic-parm tomorrow
  

• You get to use those wraps sitting in your fridge and give them new life
  

Also, let’s not ignore the small flex of saying, “Oh, these? I made them.”

The tortilla chips recipe (finally!)

Let’s get to it. Here’s a super simple recipe using store-bought wraps like Habanero’s multigrain or veggie wraps.

You’ll need:

• 2–3 tortilla wraps (multigrain, beetroot, spinach—take your pick)
  

• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
  

• Salt to taste
  

• Seasonings: smoked paprika, garlic powder, peri-peri, or anything you love
  

How to make tortilla chips recipe at home:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (or fire up the air fryer).
   

2. Cut the wraps into triangles—stack, slice like a pizza. Easy.
   

3. Brush or toss with olive oil, sprinkle seasoning, and toss again.
   

4. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until crisp. Watch closely—they go from golden to charcoal real quick.
   

5. Cool completely before serving (they crisp up as they cool).
   

Pro tip: Mix and match wrap flavours for a colourful chip bowl—great for parties, or just those solo snacking nights.

The bonus? These chips aren’t just tasty. They’re (kinda) healthy.

Here’s the thing—regular chips can be heavy. But when you use something like a multigrain tortilla wrap, you're sneaking in some goodness.

Wondering about the nutritional value of tortilla-based snacks? Multigrain wraps usually come loaded with whole grains, some fiber, and less saturated fat compared to deep-fried snacks. Add in veggies like beetroot or spinach in the wrap itself, and you’ve got a snack that’s got both crunch and cred.

Not just Netflix snack—think big

Once you've nailed this tortilla chips recipe, don’t box it in as just a binge-watching companion. These chips are:

• Killer with guac or hummus
  

• Great as nachos (hello, cheese melt)
  

• Crunchy toppers for soups and salads
  

• Amazing scoops for Indian dips like spicy tomato chutney or mint raita
  
  

Ever tried beetroot tortilla chips with curd and chat masala? Game changer.

Last bite

Honestly? Making tortilla chips at home is one of those rare things that’s both easy and oddly satisfying. It lets you play around with flavours, repurpose wraps you already have, and skip the greasy fingers.

And with brands like Habanero offering wraps that are already packed with multigrain goodness or veggie blends, you’re just a few cuts and a quick bake away from snack greatness.

Craving something crunchy? Now you know what to do.
