These are really good and add a little something different to your appetizer table or Mexican buffet. They can be used as a light dessert if desired, arranging a few chips and a dollop of dip on a small plate.
I have a convection oven so I can do several cookie sheets at a time. Allow the chips to cool on the cookie sheet and when cool place in zip lock bags.
These can be made a day or two ahead.
