Ingredients:
1 package corn tortillas (12 ounces) -or-
1 package flour tortillas (14 ounces), 10-i, n, c, h size
1 salt (optional)
Instructions:
A delicious low-fat, low-sodium alternative to conventional corn
chips. They go especially well with Guacamole and Spicy Salsa (see
separate recipes).
Immerse tortillas one at a time in water. Let drain briefly, then lay
flat.
If desired, sprinkle tops lightly with salt.
Cut each tortilla into 6 to 8 wedges.
Cover a nonstick baking sheet with a single layer of tortilla wedges,
salt side up. Place close together but do not overlap.
Bake in a 500 F oven for 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula; then
continue to bake until golden brown and crisp, an additional 3
minutes for corn tortillas and 1 minute for flour tortillas. (Store
in an airtight bag until ready to serve.)

The metaphor of the melting pot is unfortunate and misleading. A more accurate analogy would be a salad bowl, for, though the salad is an
entity, the lettuce can still be distinguished from the chicory, the tomatoes from the cabbage.
