My daughter and son-in-law are obsessed with Southwestern Cool Ranch chips, which cost a king's ransom. I set out to find a recipe to make them -- minus the aforementioned king's ransom. I found some southwestern and some cool ranch variations, but none were both, none were what they wanted. Boldly going where no mother/mother-in-law had gone before, I made something up. After a number of tries, I seem to have gotten it right. I got the basic idea from the ingredients list on the back of a bag of their favorite chips, experimenting with ingredients and proportions till they suited. Although any kind of kale would probably be ok here, I've found curly leafed works best. (Although these are chips, my family also uses them instead of croutons for salad.) <br />
