- 2 large or 4 small whole grain soft tortillas
- Optional: ground cumin, paprika, or chilli powder for sprinkling
Baking Method:
Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan) / 375°F.
Slice the tortillas into segments and place them in a single layer on two baking sheets.
Sprinkle with spices if desired.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly browned. TIP: Watch closely towards the end of the baking time as they can burn quickly!
Remove and let cool — they’ll crisp up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container. They’ll stay crispy for up to 2 weeks.
Grill Method:
Place the whole tortillas under a medium grill (broiler).
Keep a watch on them and, as soon as they start to brown, flip them over.
Once lightly browned on both sides, remove from the grill and immediately slice into segments.
Leave to cool and crisp up.
