    | 1. Cover a cookie sheet in foil, and with a pastry or BBQ brush, brush with olive or corn oil and a small sprinkling of kosher salt. (You have to do this or else it won't come out right.). | 2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees-- make sure the oven rack is in the center. | 3. Cut each tortilla into 4 equal wedge pieces. | 4. Brush the pieces with olive/corn oil and lightly sprinkle with the kosher salt. | 5. Bake for 6-10 minutes until the edges curl, depending on oven strength. Higher altitudes may need to cook for 15 minutes or longer. | 6. Let cool for 5-10 minutes prior to eating. | 7. Voila, you have natural yummy corn chips without unhealthy preservatives, hydrogenated oils, and whatnot. Serve with your favorite Mexican meal or snack food, a good salsa, or just eat plain. For some variation ideas: Soak in guacamole to make guac chips, brush tomatillo sauce or salsa on to have baked-on salsa, make spicy chips with my all-purpose Mexican seasoning, the possibilities are endless. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
