Steps

1

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2

Season Tortillas

Cut each tortilla into 8 equal triangles (like a pizza). Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each piece lightly with the seasoned olive oil using a pastry brush.

3

Bake and Cheese

Bake the tortilla bites in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are slightly crispy and golden brown. Remove the baking sheet, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the tortilla bites, then return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

4

Serve

Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve immediately. Enjoy!

Extra Tips

Experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend, for an even richer flavor.

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

If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the spice mix.
