Ingredients

Scale

For the Chips

  • 8 tortillas (corn or flour, based on preference)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce (preferably thick)

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced olives (optional)

For Seasoning

  • 1 tsp Italian herbs (basil and/or oregano)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the chips bake evenly and achieve a perfect crisp texture.
  2. Prepare Tortillas: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the tortillas into uniform triangles or squares, which helps them cook evenly and look appealing.
  3. Line Baking Sheet: Place parchment paper on a baking sheet to prevent sticking and arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer without overlapping.
  4. Add Sauce: Spoon a thin layer of pizza or marinara sauce onto each chip carefully, avoiding too much sauce to keep chips crispy.
  5. Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chips, then add any desired toppings like pepperoni, bell peppers, and olives.
  6. Season: Lightly sprinkle Italian herbs, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes over the assembled chips to enhance flavor.
  7. Bake: Bake the chips in the oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbling and edges are golden brown, indicating they are perfectly crispy.
  8. Cool: Remove from oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to firm up the texture and maximize crunch.
  9. Optional Serving: Garnish with fresh herbs or serve alongside dips for added flavor and enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use thicker pizza sauce to avoid soggy chips.
  • Do not overload the chips with sauce or toppings to maintain crispness.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze chips in a single layer for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crunchiness.
  • Customize toppings according to preference but avoid overcrowding chips.
  • Cut tortillas uniformly for consistent baking results.
  • Warm sauce slightly before spreading to enhance flavor absorption.
