whimsical wednesday

it's national corn chip day!  for whimsical wedneday munch some of the crunchy treat; alone or with your favorite dip or salsa.  sprinkle them on a salad or chili. crush them and mix them into meatloaf or burgers or meatballs.  have fun with corn chips!

my corn chip experience had me making my own corn chips.  a packet of six inch white corn tortillas was cut into small strips, placed on a lightly greased baking sheet then lightly sprayed with vegetable spray. the strips were baked in a 350 degree oven for approximately four minutes until golden brown (watch closely so the chips don't burn).  salt or not, according to taste.  cool on baking sheet.  enjoy!

as soon as the chips were removed from the oven i taste tested one.  they were tasty fine!  much fresher and lighter tasting than purchased corn chips.  my corn chips are going to be enjoyed with chili for lunch on this super cold whimsical wednesday.

tell us about your corn chip day this whimsical wednesday!
