From Karen Danielson:

This tostito recipe is one of my creations which will be featured in an up and coming cookbook.  It's hard to find a store-bought  version of tostitos that will stand up to the "Danielson shoveling technique" when it comes to eating salsas.   These homemade tostitos make sturdy dippers that are great for scooping up salsa and chunky dips, as they do not break easily and are low in fat.

Home Baked Tostito Chips

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.   Spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.   

cooking spray
1 10-count package burrito-size flour tortillas
garlic salt to taste
seasoning salt to taste
Cajun seasoning to taste

Stack 3 tortillas on top of each other and cut into 8 wedges.  Arrange wedges in a single layer on the sprayed cookie sheet.  Spray the tortilla wedges with a little of the cooking spray to ensure that the seasonings stick, then sprinkle with the seasoning of your choice. 

Bake until golden brown and crispy.  Watch very closely after about 6 minutes, for once they start to brown they can go from golden to brown to black in the time it takes you to say "drop the chalupa"! 

Repeat with remaining tortillas.  After cooling completely, store in a covered, air-tight container. 

Serving Ideas :  Serve alone as a low fat snack or with salsa, guacamole or dip of your choice.   Try Avocado Salsa for a real treat!
