Just like you can use crushed cookies or graham crackers as pie crust, you can use crushed tortilla chips for quiche! That’s right. That inventive idea is the inspiration behind this Gluten-Free Chips & Salsa Quiche recipe.
This recipe is so simple that it can be whipped up on a weekday or a weekend, for your family or for guests. That makes it ideal for a Cinco de Mayo meal. I can see this being paired with some pineapple margaritas for lunch on the patio. Sounds like a pre-weekend fiesta to me!
For this recipe, I used Xochitl chips and salsa. You can use any of their salsas you like best.
