Ingredients
5 tortillas
1/2-teaspoon salt
1/2-teaspoon chili powder

Stack tortillas and cut the stack into eight wedges, like a mini pizza, to make 40 wedges.
Arrange in a single layer on two baking sheets and coat lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with salt and chili powder (optional).
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 7 to 10 minutes or until crisp.
Serve warm or let cool and store in a plastic bag at room temperature up to five days.
Buy the Blue!
Research has discovered that blue corn tortillas (fresh, not fried) contain more protein than their yellow or white corn counterparts. In addition, blue corn tortillas have a lower starch content and lower glycemic index (GI) than regular corn tortillas. Both of these factors may be helpful to people on low GI diets, such as diabetics, because food with a lower starch and low GI breaks down more slowly into sugars absorbed by the blood stream and can help people avoid spikes in blood sugar levels.
