Anybody in the moody for a little tasty tidbit? It is Thursday after all…

I am fighting off a cold…pretty successfully I might add, so I can’t taste much at all!!  That doesn’t mean I have lost interest in food though…

Here are some homemade chips at 1 Points Plus for a small serving or 2 PP for a double that are a great, easy to make snack, and very budget friendly!  You could make up a bunch of these babies so that they are ready when you are…which when it comes to food is almost always for me…let’s just face facts!  In fact I think that is exactly what the creator of this recipe does, is make them up ahead of time!  Credit where credit is due at the end of the recipe!

Homemade Tortilla Chips 8 chips 

1 Points Plus

1 Serving

Ingredients

1 corn tortilla - locally I use El Milagro

Butter flavor cooking spray

Instructions

Cut corn tortillas into 8 pieces (I used a pizza cutter) lay on baking stone spray with butter flavored spray sprinkle salt bake 10-15 watch closely and take them out when they are just lightly browned....

I made these and they didn't seem crispy enough at first but after they cooled they were fabulous, so be patient!!  I think you could play around with some other flavorings too as long as they are point free!

This is from a Facebook friend and follower in my local communtiy! Thanks Chelly!

Now when you have chips….you almost gotta have dip right?

Salsa is Queen in my world, not only because of the low points value (check your labels to make sure to get ZERO point salsa, or use my Mrs. Wages!!!), but also because I LOVE SALSA!  Sometimes though you just want something a little creamy and more substantial…try these on for size…
