Steps
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.
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.
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.
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.
