Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"instruction-2\">\n<p id=\"instruction-content-2\" class=\"recipe__interact-list-content\">Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. These will serve as the base for your chips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"instruction-3\">\n<p id=\"instruction-content-3\" class=\"recipe__interact-list-content\">Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla using the back of a spoon. Avoid overloading the sauce to keep the chips crispy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"instruction-4\">\n<p id=\"instruction-content-4\" class=\"recipe__interact-list-content\">Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top of each tortilla, leaving a small border. Then, add sliced pepperoni or other desired toppings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"instruction-5\">\n<p id=\"instruction-content-5\" class=\"recipe__interact-list-content\">Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt evenly across all the tortillas for enhanced flavor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"instruction-6\">\n<p id=\"instruction-content-6\" class=\"recipe__interact-list-content\">Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into triangle shapes to create chips, typically 6-8 pieces per tortilla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"instruction-7\">\n<p id=\"instruction-content-7\" class=\"recipe__interact-list-content\">Place tortilla triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the surfaces with olive oil to promote crisping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"instruction-8\">\n<p id=\"instruction-content-8\" class=\"recipe__interact-list-content\">Bake the chips in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden-brown and the cheese is bubbly. Monitor closely in the last few minutes to avoid overbaking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"instruction-9\">\n<p id=\"instruction-content-9\" class=\"recipe__interact-list-content\">Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chips to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or store for later snacking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"recipe__separator txt-xxl\">Tips<\/h3>\n<ol id=\"recipe-notes\" class=\"recipe__static-list\">\n<li>Use thin tortillas for crispier chips and avoid adding excessive toppings to maintain texture.<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"recipe__separator txt-xxl\">Required Tools<\/h3>\n<ul id=\"recipe-equipments\">\n<li>Baking sheet<\/li>\n<li>Parchment paper<\/li>\n<li>Knife or pizza cutter<\/li>\n<li>Spoon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"recipe__separator txt-xxl\">Allergy Information<\/h3>\n<details id=\"recipe-allergies\" class=\"recipe__details\">\n<summary class=\"recipe__details-summary\">Always check each ingredient for allergens, and consult a medical professional if unsure.<\/summary>\n<ul class=\"recipe__details-content\">\n<li>Contains wheat in flour tortillas.<\/li>\n<li>Contains dairy in mozzarella cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n<h3 class=\"recipe__separator txt-xxl\">Nutritional Information (per serving)<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pizza Chips offer all the fun of pizza without the effort of making dough.
