- Lay tortilla strips on baking sheet and mix in remaining ingredients. Evenly spread out in a thin layer. You may need to do this in batches if the pan is too crowded.

Notes
- Add a splash of lime if you got it.
- Cut the round edges off the tortillas to form a square If you want perfectly uniform strips.
- Cooking time varies on how thin / thick tortilla strips are cut, how hot the oven is (it may run hot or colder than calibrated ovens), and how crowded the pan is.
- Use a bowl to mix tortilla strips, spices, and lime juice together if you want to coat the strips more evenly. However, it does add one more dish to do!
