Homemade Tortilla Chips

I don't like to waste things. Much. And whenever I buy tortilla shells for tacos, enchiladas or burritos, I always end up throwing out a few shells. This time I decided to try and make something with them.

I had 4 leftover, large, soft taco shells. (Called "burrito size" on the package.)

Taking one soft shell I brushed a little vegetable oil on it. Then added another shell on top and oiled that one. Keep going until all shells are stacked on top of each other, with oil on them.

I cut them into 1/8th's and could have gone even smaller, but just didn't feel like it.

I oiled a cookie sheet very lightly and then places all of the cut pieces at random angles, over-lapping as needed. I used a little seasalt on the top and then placed in a preheated 350 degree oven. At 10 minutes I checked, and a few of them were done so I removed them and put the rest back into the oven for about 5 more minutes.
