Corn Chips

For the most part, life is still too hectic for kitchen fun. However, I did find a cool recipe for corn chips that I had to make time for. They aren't much like the real greasy thing, but they're good in their own right. I crumbled them into my black bean taco salad. This gist of it is:

1 cup cornmeal, toasted
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
whatever spices you like.....smoked paprika, onion powder, etc..
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp corn oil

Mix dry, add wet, kneed together, roll thin, slice-up, bake 1o min at 400 degrees. Munch away.

They look yummy. I should try to make some sort of snack food... at least if it's homemade, I can pretend it's somewhat healthy.

Ooo, interesting idea! I have a few recipes that call for corn chips but I never make them because I can't stand the thought of eating Fritos. Thanks!

Weird question...How does one toast cornmeal? In the oven?

These things are really fun. I've been munching on them all week. I even had leftover dough and made a corn-chip crust to top my black bean and sweet potato pie.

Frito pie....I've never heard of this....quick google tells me I have to try it!
