    Since I’ve had several requests for WFPB tortilla chips, I decided to experiment. Luckily, these vegan chips came out PERFECTLY the very first time I tested them. That didn’t stop me from making another two batches immediately afterwards, though. 😉

    These vegan tortilla chips are crunchy and hold up well with dip. So that makes them perfect for pairing with our mango habanero salsa, or our pineapple pico de gallo. But if you don’t have time to make both the chips and the dip, store bought salsa works well, too!

    Ingredients + Substitutions

    You’ll only need three ingredients plus an optional fourth for this tortilla chip recipe.

    Corn tortillas resting on cutting board with pizza cutter and limes on the side.
    See recipe card for quantities.
    • Corn tortillas: I’m using corn tortillas that are six inches in diameter. You may use any size, just cut more or less chips if using smaller or bigger tortillas. Corn tortillas are the only type of wrap I have found in grocery stores without oil, and without a long list of ingredients.
    • Limes: Freshly squeezed lime juice is used to brush the tops of your chips to add a touch of zesty flavour and it also helps the salt to stick to your oil-free tortilla chips.
    • Salt + garlic powder: Optional seasoning for added flavour. If you prefer your chips unsalted, or are on a low sodium diet, feel free to reduce or skip.

    Instructions

    (This is a summary with step by step photos, full recipe measurements and instructions are in the recipe card below.)

    • BBQ: Brush with aquafaba (or oil if you’re not avoiding it) and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and brown sugar.
    • Ranch: Brush with white vinegar and sprinkle with dill, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

    Or check out our black bean chips for another variation.

    Storage

    Your corn tortilla chips will keep fresh and crispy at room temperature in a ziptop bag for 2-3 days if you can manage not to eat them all in one sitting. 😉

    Do not freeze.

    Expert Tips

    1. I’m using six-inch corn tortilla wraps and sliced each one into four quarters to make perfectly sized restaurant-style chips. If you’re using larger wraps, you may want to slice them into six pieces.
    2. Check on your tortilla chips often towards the end of cooking. The chips will go from perfectly done, to overdone pretty quickly, so use your oven timer to set reminders.
