So I am currently abroad in Paris until December. And while I realize that many of my culinary experiences thus far would likely have made fantastic blog posts, I have found that I frequently have no idea what I am eating. I just eat what is placed in front of me, especially at my homestay. And you know what? It's always delicious. However, saying "I had some sort of meat stew tonight with an orange soup that you should definitely eat if you get the chance" is probably not that enlightening.
My roommate Kathryn and I have discovered though, that one type of food really lacking in the French diet is that of the salty snack. We were really craving chips and guacamole, and while the guac was no trouble at all to find at our local Monoprix, we were hard pressed to find anything to dip in it. So we bought some tortillas and took it upon ourselves to fill the hole in our hearts with crunchy salty chips.
It's really simple: all you have to do is cut the tortillas into chip shapes, then paint each side with the oil of your choosing (you don't need a pastry brush or anything, we just dipped a napkin in the oil and wiped it on the tortillas) then add salt and pepper to taste.
We baked our chips, but you could fry them if you so desired. To bake, put them in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Farenheit (or 205 degrees Celsius). After 5 minutes, turn them over. You'll also want to put them on a greased baking sheet, or you can use aluminum foil like we did.
Yum!
