We usually buy the cheese sauce from stores, but often do not finish the whole thing and it just sits in the refrigerator to be forgotten. When we had the theme of making 3 tortilla dishes, I wanted to try my hands on baking my own chips. I have to admit these chips are a big shout away from the store-bought salty chips.
