Instructions

Prepare Workspace: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
Cut Spooky Shapes: Stack 2-3 tortillas together. Using Halloween-themed cookie cutters, press firmly into the tortillas to cut out festive shapes. Carefully arrange the shapes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap for even baking.
Oil and Season: Lightly spray both sides of each tortilla shape with avocado or olive oil spray to help them crisp up beautifully. Then sprinkle a generous and even layer of salt over them to enhance their flavor.
Bake to Crispy Perfection: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning as baking time can vary depending on your oven and chip size. If using multiple baking sheets, rotate them halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. Remove once the chips are golden brown and crispy.
Cool and Serve: Transfer the baked chips immediately to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. They will continue to crisp as they cool. Serve the chips right away or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days to maintain their crunch.

Notes

Make sure to keep an eye on the chips while baking as they can burn quickly once they start browning.
Use gluten-free or grain-free tortillas to make this snack suitable for gluten-intolerant guests.
For extra flavor, consider sprinkling additional spices such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder before baking.
Store leftover chips in a sealed container to retain crispness.
These chips pair well with dips like guacamole, salsa, or hummus for a festive snack.
