Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter or olive oil with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Prepare Tortillas

Cut each tortilla into 6-8 equal triangles, like a pizza. Using a brush, coat both sides of the tortilla triangles with the seasoned oil mixture.

Cheesy Topping

In another bowl, mix the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the seasoned tortilla pieces generously with the cheese mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered.

Baking

Arrange the cheesy tortilla bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

Serving

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve immediately. Offer with fresh salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Extra Tips

► Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or provolone, for an even more exciting flavor.

► Serve with fresh salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for the complete experience.

► You can also make them in an air fryer: bake at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
