Fall Leaf Tortilla Chips
Fresh tortillas colored orange, green, and yellow with a few clever pantry spices, then cut into fall leaf shapes for a crispy, colorful chip. With just a 10 minute bake, they're ready in about 20 minutes start to finish and seasoned with warm fall spices for bold flavor that stays kid friendly and never too spicy.
Ingredients
- 6 8-inch tortillas your choice, freshly opened
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
For the red leaves
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 drop red gel food color optional
For the yellow leaves
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 drop yellow food coloring optional
For the green leaves
- ¼ cup green pepper jelly
- 1 drop green food color optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pepper jelly in a small bowl. If it's not green enough in color, add 1-2 drops of green food coloring and mix it well.
- Place 2 tortillas on a cutting board or flat surface. Brush both sides of each tortilla with the pepper mixture and sprinkle with curry, cumin, and coriander. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of olive oil, salt, paprika, and chili flakes, if using. Add food coloring as needed (we didn't add any).
- Apply the red spice mixture to the second tortilla in the same way. Sprinkle with curry, cumin, and coriander. Set aside to soften.
- Combine turmeric, salt, coriander, and 2 teaspoons of olive oil and coat the tortilla on both sides, then sprinkle with curry, cumin, and coriander.
- Starting with the green tortillas (because you made them first, so they have softened the most by now), use small leaf-shaped cookie cutters to cut out autumn leaves from the tortillas. Repeat with red tortillas and then yellow.
- Arrange the leaf-shaped chips on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes, until the leaves are crisp and lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them because they will go from toasted and crispy to burnt quickly.
Notes
If you don't have cookie cutters, use clean small scissors and your imagination to cut leaf shapes from the tortillas.
