Today’s super easy recipe is one that my kids were able to do almost entirely on their own. In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, we made homemade rainbow shamrock chips! They’re crunchy, a little bit salty, and very fun to make! Whether you make these for St. Patrick’s Day or a rainbow-themed party, they are so fun!
Rainbow Shamrock Homemade Chips
I am such a sucker for pretty rainbow treats! Whether it’s St. Patrick’s Day or a rainbow-themed event, there is just something fun about decorating with the colors of the rainbow, don’t you think? You will need a shamrock cookie cutter LIKE THIS ONE, uncooked tortillas LIKE THESE, and rainbow food color (I use THIS kind).
Dip them in salsa, sour cream & onion dip, or whatever you love! You can even eat them plain (that’s how my kids do it). They are crunchy, fresh, and just a little bit salty…..just like homemade chips should be!
St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday we always look forward to. It’s a day filled with fun food, tricks from the leprechaun, gold, and rainbows.

These are too fun! My boys are going to love them!

I’m going to try doing them with cinnamon and sugar. Maybe wet the entire tortilla then spring with sugar and cinnamon, paint entire tortilla with a color then cut out? Not sure how they will look, but worth a yummy try!
These are amazingly fun!! What a brilliant idea! I would love to invite you over to Totally Terrific Tuesday to join the party and share these! I am going to include them in a St.Patty’s day round up I am working on 🙂 whoop whoop!
Have a great weekend!!
