Next, I like to sprinkle on the Italian seasoning for that familiar pizza flavor. If I’m in the mood for some extra toppings like pepperoni, I scatter them on top of the cheese. I usually resist eating a few slices right then and there, as the aroma fills my kitchen. Once everything is assembled and looking delicious, pop the pizza chip into the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Once out of the oven, let it cool for a minute, then grab your pizza cutter and slice the tortilla into bite-sized pieces. I love this part because it makes the chips feel extra special, and they’re perfect for dipping into more pizza sauce if you like a little extra!
Pro Tips for Best Results
I tested this recipe three ways to find the perfect balance of pizza flavor and crispiness, and believe me, the right tortilla makes all the difference! I found that flour tortillas tend to get crispier than corn, so pick whichever one calls to you.
Another tip I discovered was to let the chips cool for about a minute before diving in. They may seem like they’re ready to eat right away, but that slight cooling allows them to crisp up just a bit more, enhancing the crunch factor!
Lastly, I like to experiment with different cheeses. While mozzarella is classic, trying different varieties—like cheddar or a blend of cheeses—can take your pizza chips to a whole new level of flavor.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One mistake I often made early on was using way too much sauce. While I love sauce, it’s important to use just enough so your chips don’t get soggy. A light spread is all you need for that perfect pizza flavor without compromising that much-loved crunch! (See the next page below to continue…)
