It's incredible, but you can easily make cheese-flavored chips at home without artificial flavors or additives. To do this, dry the cheese in the oven and then grind it into a powder. This process takes up to 10 hours, but the results are worth it. This recipe uses a blend of equal parts Pepper Jack, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. The flavor is rich and vibrant. The chips are made from triangles of corn tortillas that are deep-fried. Sprinkle them immediately with cheese powder, adding other natural flavors, such as dried herbs or spices, if desired.

Cheese powder:

Preheat oven to 80°C. Mix the cheeses and spread them on a baking sheet in a single, thin layer. Bake for 8 hours. The cheese will seem dry and a little greasy.Remove the baking sheet and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer the cheese to another clean baking sheet. Pat dry again if necessary.
Bake until completely dry, another 2 hours. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and pat the cheese dry one last time. Let cool in a dry place.

Place the cheese chips in a blender or spice grinder and grind into a powder. You'll have delicious cheese powder! Set aside.
Corn chips:

Heat 5 cm of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 190°C (375°F). Fry the tortillas, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a wire rack to drain. Sprinkle the hot chips with cheese powder.
