Cajun Kale Chips

My sister in law had kale chips on Easter.  I have always wondered what they taste like so I gave them a try.  Wow - they are a great snack!!  Even B loved them!  I wanted to try a different spin on the ones she made so I did mine with a little salt and cajun.  These would be good with any of your favorite spices (Old Bay may be next for me!).

Ingredients:
Kale, snipped from the stalk
2 tsp olive oil
Cajun spice
Salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut kale into smaller pieces and rinse thoroughly
Place in a large bowl and add spices, tossing to coat
Place kale on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper
Cook for 15 minutes and allow to cool

Homemade Tortilla Chips

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we had some people over for dinner.  I made crock pot chicken for tacos and these tortilla chips.  I found the recipe here for the chips.  They turned out really nice and B liked them so much, I'm going to make some for her lunches.  You can season these with many different things.  Next time I want to try cinnamon and some with Old Bay too.  The original recipe calls for broiling on high.  After the 1st batch, I had to turn my oven to Lo and keep a very close eye on them after flipping them.

Ingredients:

1 small pkg tortillas (I used flour ones), cut into triangles
Cooking spray (I used Pam)
Salt, to taste (I used Season All Season Salt)

Directions:

 1. Preheat the broiler to high. Put tortilla triangles on a large baking sheet. Don't overlap the chips. If you want to make a large batch, fill a second pan and only bake one at a time.

2. Spray the triangles lightly with cooking spray. Turn over triangles and spray again. Sprinkle with salt, to taste.

3. Bake in the oven for about 3-4 minutes. Turn chips over and bake for another five minutes, or until chips are golden brown and crisp. Make sure you don't go too far while the chips are in the oven. They will bake quickly!
