Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and mix it with the olive oil. Set aside.
Lay the flour tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet. Depending on the size of your tortillas and baking sheet, you may need to work in batches.
Brush the top side of each tortilla with the butter and olive oil mixture, making sure to cover the edges for even browning.
In another small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the cheese and seasoning mixture evenly over the buttered tortillas, pressing gently with your hands to help the toppings stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for around 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
Remove the tortillas from the oven and let them cool slightly. They will crisp further as they cool.
Once cooled, use the tortilla crusts as a base for your favorite toppings, or enjoy them plain as a snack or appetizer.
