Rainbow Chips With Chili Lime Salt Recipes

LIME TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the lime juice and salt. One at a time, dip the chips into the mixture and arrange on a cooling rack set inside a sheet pan. Allow to dry for 1 hour or until there are no visible signs of moisture on the chips.
• Place the oil into a 5-quart pot or Dutch oven and heat to 365 to 375 degrees F. Gently lower the chips, 5 to 6 at a time, into the oil and fry for 20 to 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the chips to a newspaper-lined sheet pan. Allow to cool 3 to 4 minutes before serving.
• *If you prefer plain tortilla chips simply stack the fresh tortillas, cut into quarters and fry according to the instructions above. If you are making chips from the Good Eats recipe in this episode, the cooking time will be 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

HOMEMADE CHILI LIME BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the vegetable oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Arrange the tortillas on a clean work surface. Using a pastry brush or a silicone brush, lightly brush the tortillas with the lime spice mixture. Be sure to just lightly coat the tortillas in the mixture; do not oversaturate them. Flip over the tortillas and lightly coat the other side as well.
• Stack the tortillas and cut them in half, then cut each half into 3 chip-size wedges (6 wedges per tortilla). Transfer the wedges to 2 rimmed baking sheets and arrange them in an even layer, making sure not to overlap any. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wedges on both baking sheets.
• Bake until the chips are golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

CRISP KALE CHIPS WITH CHILE AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Make sure the kale is dry; if it is not, it will steam rather than crisp in the oven.
• In a large bowl, toss kale pieces with olive oil and kosher salt; you may need to do this in 2 batches. Massage the oil onto each kale piece until the oil is evenly distributed and the kale glistens. Spread the kale out on 2 17-by-12-inch jellyroll pans (or do this in batches). Bake the kale chips until the leaves look crisp and crumble, about 12-16 minutes. If they are not ready, bake for another 2 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Sprinkle with the lime zest, sea salt and chile powder to taste.

CRUDITéS WITH CHILE-LIME SALT

Steps:

• Finely grate lime zest into a small bowl. Stir in salt and chile powder. Cut lime into wedges.
• Arrange crudités on a platter. Squeeze lime juice over, then sprinkle with some spiced salt mixture. Serve remaining spiced salt mixture alongside.
