Ingredients

Scale

For the Chips

  • 4 tortillas (Corn or Flour Tortillas; choose corn for a traditional crunch or flour for a softer bite)
  • 1 cup Pizza Sauce or Marinara Sauce (thicker sauces recommended to keep chips crispy)

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (option to mix with cheddar, provolone, or Parmesan)
  • 1 cup Toppings (customize with favorites like pepperoni, bell peppers, or olives)

For Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs (such as basil or oregano)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the chips.
  2. Slice Tortillas: Cut the tortillas into uniform triangles or squares to create chip-sized pieces.
  3. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
  4. Add Sauce: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce or marinara sauce on each tortilla chip piece to provide a flavorful base.
  5. Top with Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on each chip, then add your chosen toppings such as pepperoni, bell peppers, or olives.
  6. Season: Drizzle Italian herbs, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes over the chips to enhance the flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the chips are golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes; this helps the chips become extra crispy before serving.

Notes

  • Choose corn tortillas for a more traditional crunchy chip; flour tortillas give a softer bite.
  • Use thicker pizza or marinara sauce to prevent sogginess on the chips.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on preference—pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, mushrooms all work well.
  • Allow chips to cool slightly after baking to maximize crunchiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
