These work with any tortillas but, if you want them to be close to the originals make sure you use corn tortillas. I also cut them into small strips as a tortilla soup topping.
- corn tortilla chips
- oil (I use canola)
- salt
- While the tortillas are still whole, brush both sides with oil.
- Stacked oiled tortillas together and cut into triangles.
- lay out in a single layer on baking sheets. (may need to use more than one)
- sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy. Watch them closely and rotate the trays to make sure they are evenly cooked.

This is a refreshing summer treat that can be served in a few different ways. It makes a great dinner (I combine it with my citrus quinoa recipe) or delicious appetizer. If you want to make it a classier appetizer serve in individual glassware such as martini glasses.
- 1 grapefruit, segmented
- 1/2 small cucumber, peeled and diced
- 1/2 avocado, diced
- 1/2 mango, diced
- 10-15 small or medium shrimp
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- In a medium bowl layer the ingredients. Start with grapefruit, then cucumbers, and so on.
- Squeeze lime juice over top.
- Sprinkle with chili powder.
- Serve chilled.
