Ingredients
  

  • 2 large or 4 small whole grain soft tortillas
  • Optional: ground cumin, paprika, or chilli powder for sprinkling

Instructions
 

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.
