Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas?

Corn tortillas work best here because they bake up crisp and chip-like. Flour tortillas will bake, but they’ll be more bready and less like classic tortilla chips.

Is lemon juice or lime juice better?

Either works. Lime gives a more traditional tortilla-chip flavor, while lemon is a little brighter and slightly less sharp. Use whichever you have.

How do I know when the chips are done?

They should be golden brown and crisp at the edges. If they still feel soft after cooling for a minute or two, give them a little more time in the oven.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, but they’re best freshly baked. If you make them ahead, let them cool completely and store airtight; they may soften slightly over time, so a brief re-crisp in the oven can help.

Do I need to flip the chips while baking?

The recipe doesn’t call for flipping individual chips, but it does recommend swapping the cookie sheet positions halfway through baking so they brown evenly.

Can I scale this recipe up for a crowd?

Yes. Scale the ingredients proportionally and bake in batches if needed so the chips stay in a single layer and crisp evenly.
