Crispy & Easy Garlic Chips (No Oven Needed!)
Quick Snack Hack: Making Bakery-Style Garlic Chips with Leftover Tortillas
Have you ever found yourself with leftover tortillas and wondered what to do with them? This recipe is the perfect solution! You can easily make delicious garlic chips that taste just like those from a bakery, all without an oven, using just a frying pan. They’re incredibly simple to prepare but deliver a wonderfully addictive sweet and savory garlic-butter flavor.
Essential Ingredients
- 3 Tortillas
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic (or thinly sliced garlic)
- 1 Tbsp oligodang (corn syrup) or honey/sugar
- 1 Tbsp butter (softened at room temperature or melted)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic (or thinly sliced garlic)
- 1 Tbsp oligodang (corn syrup) or honey/sugar
- 1 Tbsp butter (softened at room temperature or melted)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need tortillas, minced garlic, oligodang (or your chosen sweetener), and butter. Soften the butter by leaving it at room temperature for a bit; this will make it much easier to mix.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of softened butter, 1 tablespoon of oligodang, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, well-combined garlic butter sauce.
Step 3
Spread the prepared garlic butter sauce thinly and evenly over the surface of each tortilla. Make sure to coat the edges as well, so every part of the chip is flavorful.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Place the sauced tortilla in the pan and cook until it’s golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side. You’ll know it’s ready when it smells wonderfully garlicky, just like from a bakery! Your basic garlic chips are now complete.
Step 5
If you’re looking to add another dimension of flavor, try adding cheese! For this variation, after spreading the garlic butter sauce, generously sprinkle your favorite cheese, like shredded mozzarella, over the tortilla.
Step 6
Place the cheese-topped tortilla in the frying pan. Cover it with a lid and cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and gooey. Watching the cheese melt makes it even more appealing!
Step 7
Once your garlic chips (or cheesy garlic chips) are perfectly cooked, cut them into bite-sized pieces and enjoy! They are best served warm and fresh. These are fantastic as a snack for kids or a perfect accompaniment to a cold drink.
