A delightful and easy way to make crispy tortilla strips at home, perfect for soups or dips.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Lightly spray each tortilla with olive oil on both sides.
Ensure even coverage for consistent crispiness.
Cut the tortillas into thin strips using kitchen scissors.
Cut strips evenly for uniform cooking.
Arrange the strips on the baking sheet in a single layer without overlapping.
Spacing prevents steaming and ensures crispiness.
Sprinkle the strips lightly with salt.
Adjust seasoning to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Cooling helps them crisp up further.
