Sprouted Tortilla Chips

There are some great brands of tortilla chips out there that are organic and made from just a couple of quality ingredients. However, I have yet to find a great sprouted grain tortilla chip. So I take some help from the grocery store to make these delicious tortilla chips. The Ezekial brand makes some awesome breads and tortillas. Everything they make is 100% organic, which means there are NO GMOs. Also, all of the grains are soaked and sprouted. When you sprout foods, you really bring to life all of the beneficial nutrients that remain dormant otherwise. Sprouting significantly increases the vitamin content, and also allows the body to assimilate the protein and carbohydrates found in the food more efficiently. These tortillas are so simple to turn into tortilla chips! Here's how I do it.

First, here is a pic of what the torillas look like in the package so you will know what to look for at the store. They're found in the freezer section, but usually it's in the health food freezer section.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the tortillas into 8 triangles. Spread them out evenly on a cookie sheet lined with a wire rack for even distribution of heat. Brush both sides with extra virgin coconut oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy, turning once. Let cool and enjoy! Use as a dipper for my Smoky Southwest Hummus or my Spicy Guacamole.

*Please use organic ingredients when possible.
