Cut tortillas into 6 or 8 slices like you would a cut a pizza. Then cut each slice into smaller, triangular wedges about the size of the tortilla chips that you want.
vegetable oil spray
Spread the tortilla wedges onto two rimmed baking sheets. Coat the top side of the wedges with vegetable oil spray. Flip the wedges over and spray to coat the other side.
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
Sprinkle wedges evenly with salt.
Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and flip wedges over. Return to oven and continue to cook until tortillas are crisp and light brown, about 10 minutes longer.
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack or bowl for at least 10 minutes. Serve with salsa or guacamole.
