Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). In a large bowl, combine the grated cheese with ground paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cut each tortilla into 6-8 equal triangles, like a pizza.

Baking

Arrange the tortilla triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush them with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle with the seasoned cheese mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown and crispy.

Serving

While the cheese bites are baking, prepare the dipping sauce: mix the sour cream with the chopped chives. Remove the finished cheese bites from the oven, let them cool for a minute, then serve immediately with the chive sour cream.

Extra Tips

► Experiment with different types of cheese for even more exciting flavors, such as smoked cheese or jalapeño.

► You can serve the cheese bites with salsa, guacamole, or even a little hot sauce.

► For an even crispier result, lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with oil before baking.
