Ingredients You’ll Need
Serves 2–4
For the Chips:
- 4–6 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or pizza blend cheese)
Optional Toppings:
- Dried oregano
- Garlic powder
- Red pepper flakes
- Parmesan cheese
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Assemble the Chips
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of shredded cheese over one side of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to help the cheese stick.
Cut into Chips
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the folded tortilla into 6–8 triangular wedges, similar to cutting a pizza.
Bake
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add Seasoning
Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle the chips with dried oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or Parmesan cheese for extra pizza flavor.
Serve
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
Why This Recipe Works
Tortilla Base
Tortillas crisp up beautifully in the oven, creating a sturdy yet light chip.
Cheese Magic
The melted cheese acts as both a flavor booster and a binding agent, ensuring each chip is packed with pizza-inspired taste.
Customizable Flavor
Adding seasonings or toppings allows you to tailor the chips to your preferences.
Variations to Try
Gluten-Free Option
Use corn tortillas or gluten-free tortillas for a GF-friendly version.
Spicy Kick
Add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
Herbaceous Twist
Mix fresh basil or parsley into the cheese for added freshness.
Protein Boost
Top with cooked pepperoni slices or crumbled sausage before baking.
Veggie Lovers
Add finely chopped veggies like spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers before folding the tortilla.
Tips for Success
Don’t Overload the Cheese
Use just enough cheese to cover the tortilla thinly—it helps the chips crisp up evenly.
Watch Closely
Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the chips to prevent burning.
Storage
These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Re-crisp in the oven if needed.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a pizza blend all work well for different flavor profiles.
How do I keep the chips crispy?
Make sure to bake them in a single layer and avoid using too much cheese, which can make them soggy.
Can I air fry these instead of baking?
Yes! Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up again.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, but they’re best fresh. If making ahead, reheat before serving for maximum crispiness.
