Homemade Tortilla Chips

Good Afternoon Shackers!

I just have to share the recipe for these awesome tortilla chips I made the other night!

 

 

Ingredients needed:

Cooking Spray
Salt for taste
Spinach tortilla wraps

 

With the cookie cutter of choice, cut out as many as possible from tortillas. I was able to get about 7 hearts per tortilla.

-Sometimes the cookie cutter will not cut all the way through the tortilla. To get a better cut, push the cookie cutter down firmly and move the entire tortilla back and forth while pressing. For those stubborn edges that will not cut, use cooking scissors.

-Save scraps to sprinkle on soups and salads.

 

Place on baking sheet. Spray chips with cooking oil. Sprinkle with salt. Bake at 375 degrees for about 7 - 10 minutes. Check often, they burn quickly.

 

Serve with your favorite dip. You're welcome!



Scrapbook Pinwheels

Pinwheels are the new trend for weddings, birthdays, parties and holidays. Let me show you how to make your very own!

 

Materials needed:

Scrapbook paper

Scissors

Brad

Dowel rod (we drilled a hole in ours)

Drill

1/8" drill bit

Hot glue gun & glue (optional)

 

 

1. start with a square

2. fold in half diagonally

3. then fold diagonally again (to make an X)

4. unfold

5.Poke a hole in the center (just big enough for the brad to go through)

6. cut just over half way up each fold

7. punch a hold on right side of each cut

8.gather four holes together and place a brad through all four

9. push brad through hole in center of square

10. fasten brad on reverse side

 

To attach the dowel to back of pinwheel drill a hole into the top of the dowel (about 1/2" down) and put the brad through and fasten brad to reverse side

 

You can use two sheets of paper, back to back for double printed pinwheels.

 

Enjoy!
