Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
4 medium flour tortillas (20 cm / 8 inches each)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 170 g)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stack the flour tortillas and cut them into small triangles, similar to tortilla chips.
Spread the tortilla pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the tortilla pieces.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the tortillas are golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool for 2 to 3 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve warm or allow them to cool completely for extra crunch.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 4 servings.
Preparation time is 5 minutes, baking time is 10 minutes, and total time is approximately 15 minutes.
Variations
For extra flavor, sprinkle a small amount of dried oregano or basil over the cheese before baking. Using thin tortillas will result in crispier chips. You can also substitute mozzarella with another mild, halal-friendly melting cheese if desired.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover pizza chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp. Avoid reheating in the microwave, as it will soften the chips.
