Steps
Prep and Season
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-assisted). Cut each corn tortilla into 6-8 triangular pieces. In a large bowl, toss the tortilla triangles with the vegetable oil, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and ground cumin until evenly coated.
Bake and Cheese
Spread the seasoned tortilla pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven, sprinkle evenly with the grated cheddar cheese, then return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve immediately. You can serve them with fresh salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Extra Tips
► Experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend, for varied flavor.
► Serve the chips with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for the complete experience.
► If you want even crispier chips, bake them a little longer before adding the cheese.
