Ingredients

Scale

For the Chips

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

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (mix in cheddar, provolone, or Parmesan if desired)
  • 1 cup Toppings (customize with pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, or other favorites)

For Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs (basil or oregano)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chips.
  2. Slice Tortillas: Cut the tortillas into uniform triangles or squares to create evenly sized chips.
  3. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer without overlapping.
  4. Apply Sauce: Spread a thin layer of pizza or marinara sauce on each chip evenly to keep them crisp while adding flavor.
  5. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each chip then add your choice of toppings evenly for variety and taste.
  6. Season: Drizzle Italian herbs, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes over the chips to infuse aromatic and spicy notes.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and edges turn golden brown, indicating perfect crispiness.
  8. Cool: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes; this step helps the chips become even crunchier.

Notes

  • Using corn tortillas will yield a crunchier chip, while flour tortillas provide a softer bite.
  • For extra crispiness, spread sauce thinly to avoid sogginess.
  • Customize toppings according to preference but avoid overly wet toppings to maintain crispness.
  • Letting chips cool before serving improves texture and crunch.
  • These chips are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
