| 1. Print the recipe so your child
can follow along.
2. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Have ready one or
two baking trays.
3. Make six piles of two tortillas each. Use kitchen
scissors to cut each pile of tortillas into wedges or
other shapes. Children love doing this. Just be sure
they don't cut the tortillas too small.
4. Spread the tortilla pieces on the tray in a single
layer. They can touch, but should not overlap.
5. Lightly spray the spread-out tortilla pieces with
non-stick cooking spray. Let the children sprinkle the
tortilla pieces with salt.
6. Bake the tortillas for 10 to 12 minutes, or until
crisp. Let them cool on the tray(s) for about 5 minutes.
7. Turn oven down to 170°C.
8. Grate the cheese and allow the children to sprinkle
it over the tortilla chips
9. Put the tray(s) in the oven and let your child set
the timer for 3 minutes.
10. Remove the tray from the oven, and put the chips
on a plate with a spatula. Allow to cool for at least
5 minutes before eating.
