- Cut Tortillas: Using your preferred cookie cutter, cut shapes out of the large tortillas to create the chip pieces.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Arrange the tortilla cut-outs on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the pieces with cooking spray to help them crisp up while baking and sprinkle salt evenly over the top to enhance flavor.

- Use corn tortillas for a more authentic flavor or flour tortillas for a mild taste.
- For extra flavor, try sprinkling chili powder, garlic powder, or lime zest along with the salt.
- Allow chips to cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
