Total Time:25 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
For the Chips
4 tortillas (corn or flour)
1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
For the Toppings
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup mixed toppings (such as pepperoni, bell peppers, or olives)
For Seasoning
1 teaspoon Italian herbs (basil, oregano)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Prepare the Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the tortillas into chip-sized wedges, about 6 to 8 pieces per tortilla, depending on size.
Add Pizza Sauce: Spread a thin layer of pizza or marinara sauce evenly over each chip wedge to keep them crispy and flavorful.
Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on each chip, then add your choice of toppings such as sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, or olives.
Season the Chips: Lightly sprinkle Italian herbs, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes over the chips for aromatic and spicy flavor notes.
Bake to Crispy Perfection: Place the prepared chips on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chips are crispy and golden.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes to firm up before serving as a tasty snack.
Notes
Use corn tortillas for a traditional crunchy texture or flour tortillas for a softer bite.
Choose thicker pizza or marinara sauce to prevent the chips from becoming soggy.
Feel free to mix different types of cheese like cheddar, provolone, or Parmesan for extra flavor.
Customize toppings according to your preference—vegetables, meats, or olives all work well.
For less spice, omit the crushed red pepper flakes or adjust to taste.
Serve with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
