- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)

- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Ingredient Highlights
- Flour Tortillas: These form the base of your pizza chips. Tortillas are thin and crisp up nicely in the oven, giving you the perfect crunchy texture for your chips.
- Mozzarella Cheese: This cheese provides that gooey, melt-in-your-mouth texture and adds to the pizza flavor.
- Pizza Sauce: A great pizza sauce brings everything together with its tangy and slightly sweet flavor, making each chip taste just like pizza.
- Herbs: Oregano, basil, and garlic powder are key to achieving that classic pizza flavor. They bring aromatic, savory notes to your chips.
- Red Pepper Flakes: Optional, but a great addition for those who enjoy a bit of heat in their snack.
Instructions
Prepare the Pizza Chips:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent the chips from sticking.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Stack the tortillas on a cutting board and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. You’ll end up with 36 pizza chip slices, perfect for sharing or snacking.
- Season the Chips: Place the tortilla wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the chips and toss them gently to coat each piece evenly. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss again to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed across the chips.
Assemble the Pizza Chips:
- Arrange the Tortillas on the Baking Sheet: Spread the tortilla wedges out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the chips aren’t overlapping to allow for even cooking.
- Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Check on them halfway through to make sure they’re not burning. The baking time may vary depending on the thickness of your tortillas and your oven, so keep an eye on them.
- Add the Pizza Toppings: Once the chips are baked and crispy, remove the tray from the oven. Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each chip. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the chips and return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Final Touches:
- Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted and golden, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly. Optionally, sprinkle with a little extra dried oregano and some fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Best Pizza Chips hot, straight from the oven. They’re perfect on their own or paired with a side of extra pizza sauce for dipping.
