Tortilla Chip Pumpkins

This morning while my 6 year old was school my 4 year old made pumpkin shaped chips out of tortillas - he had a lot of fun with it!  If you are getting in the pumpkin spirit, here's what you need:

Soft corn tortillas, 1/4 C vegetable or olive oil, salt, pastry brush or paint brush, pumpkin shaped cookie cutters (with the face - I got a set at Hobby Lobby for 1.99), small bowl, cookie sheet, and 1 red and 1 yellow food coloring.

Use the cookie cutters to cut out the pumpkin shapes from the tortillas.  Pour oil into small bowl and add 2 drops each of the red and yellow food coloring.  Wait a few minutes and then stir to blend the food coloring.  Dip the brush in the oil and paint both sides of each cut out until well coated.  Place chips on ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt.  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

They were DELICIOUS hot out of the oven!
