Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 quarter cup Green chiles (diced, canned or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the flour tortillas on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan and brush each tortilla lightly with melted butter.
Sprinkle ground cumin and chili powder evenly over the tortillas for a flavor boost.
Spread a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese across the top of each tortilla.
Evenly distribute the diced green chiles over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the tortillas are golden brown.
Remove the tortilla crisps from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes to make them easier to handle.
Cut each tortilla into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm with sour cream on the side for dipping.
