- 8–12 large flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 to 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture, part-skim)
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (or cooking spray)
- Dried oregano (to taste)
- Garlic powder (to taste)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- Optional toppings: micro-diced bell peppers, extremely thinly sliced mushrooms, tiny bits of cooked, crumbled beef sausage or turkey pepperoni
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Lay your tortillas flat and cut each into 8-12 chip shapes, aiming for uniform pieces about 2-3 inches in size.
- Arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer on the baking sheets and lightly brush or spray the top side with olive oil.
- Spread a very thin layer of pizza sauce over each oiled tortilla piece, then sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
- Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over the cheesy chips. Add any optional toppings sparingly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
