Black Tortilla Chips
Don't stop with charcoal, think spinach, paprika, corn, red peppers, the sky is the limit. Whatever you can put into your tortillas, can be in chips!
There is something pretty stunning about black tortilla chips. Or you could go green (spinach) or red (roasted red peppers or loads of paprika) or yellow, (sub in some polenta for flour). I mean. Pretty or what? Then add all the fixings.
We love these with our tortilla chips;
The kids are going to be so helpful!! They'll love this as a project! Have fun!
