No matter, big party or small, there is always room for chips and salsa. Don't you think? This recipe ups the level of homemade baked tortilla chips, making them delicious and better than bag of store bought chips. I'm obsessed with serving chips and salsa in all get-together. It is so easy to make a salsa or dip and chit-chat continues while chips last in bowl. Often, I buy bag of chips and go fancy with dips such as 7 Layer Black Bean Dip, Fiesta Cheese Dip or Garlic Guacamole This recipe was surprise creation on one such day when I left my favorite bags of chips in store. It was super bowl, the big game-day. Hmm.. I had tortilla in refrigerator. But I neither wanted to fry chips and nor ready to serve plain simple baked chips. So I decided to go little fancy. I stuffed-up plain tortilla with a layer of fiesta cheese blend and some seasonings. What an amazing twist. It was like seasonings the chips from with-in. As if chips too are getting ready to watch the games.Who did not ask me about chips that day! It was a crazy hit. Simple 4 ingredient recipe can change the chemistry of party. I'm a believer.Trust me, everyone loved the idea while munching on crispy cheesy baked chips and was saying - I need recipe. I'll bake these for my next party. I'll serve for my daughter's birthday.

Today, I updated recipe with my notes, few new pictures, and have video coming soon.So, let's dig in!Simple Baked Tortilla Chips:First of all, if you are here looking for simple baked tortilla chips recipe. Don't get disappointed. I can tell you that same instructions work for baking simple salted/or spicy seasoned tortilla chips as well. In-fact this is my go-to recipes to bake chips whenever. Simply brush/spray the wheat tortillas with some cooking oil and sprinkle some salt. Then bake in preheated oven until tops are slightly brown and getting crispier. Works like charm every time. No oil needed, plus healthy delicious homemade chips to enjoy.Cheesy Baked Tortilla Chips:This is recipe with cheese stuffing can only be baked not fried. If fried, cheese will melt and ooze out.. So baking is the way to go. Plu sit is healthier. Only make sure to not over-stuff tortillas with cheese or you will have cheese-crisps to serve on side of tortillas. Like I went little crazy with filling few of the tortillas and I had cheese crisp hanging-out of a few chips.. Cheese crips taste delicious though. If you do want those, keep an eye when baking, don't let hanging cheese burn....Only remember, little cheese goes a long way. It will spread while baking. For the picture below, I kept cheese about 2 tbsp to keep spread of melted cheese within tortilla. Don't these remind of quesadillas? In-fact you can bake quesadilla using the same recipe. Simply add your favorite toppings (I mean stuffing). Bring on onion, jalapeno, bell pepper, and shredded cheese. Don't add lot of cheese. Layer cheese below and on top of toppings. Don't fold in half but bake two tortillas like you would grill a quesadilla. That's it. You can bake mutiple quesadilla together to serve breakfast in hurry.Hands down these baked chips have become our favorite things to serve in parties. If you planning to host a game-day party, or any get togther, bake a batch of these tortilla chips. Trust me, you will be so happy you did. 15 minutes and such delicious result.

CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup image

This is Ali's all-time favorite soup, and it's delicious! This was the first dish she cooked for date night. Tortilla soup is fortified with spices and herbs. It is also thickened with tortillas, which is a great technique to know. Techniques for soup thickening vary from roux, to rice, to this technique of using tortillas. Still other soups are thickened with bread or potato, but the tortillas give it a full mouthfeel. It's a great cooking lesson that yields a delicious dish.

TORTIZZAS



Tortizzas image

Inspired by California Pizza Kitchen's now-discontinued Greek pizza, as well as the Manhattan bar Our/New York's also-discontinued tortilla pizzas (affectionately called "tortizzas" by the patrons who remember them), this quick lunch or light dinner builds on a sturdy base of crispy, cheesy flour tortillas. A fresh mix of cucumbers, tomatoes and avocado, mounded atop the tortillas, makes you feel like you're eating a salad with your hands. Feta delivers sharpness and creaminess, as does the simple garlicky yogurt sauce that drapes each tortizza. A drizzle of honey at the end might sound out of place here, but it really brings together all the flavors, and is a popular dipping sauce for pizza in South Korea.

Categories     vegetables, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 to 4 Persian or mini seedless cucumbers, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 2 cups)
2 ripe medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
8 (6-inch) soft flour tortillas
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
2 teaspoons dried oregano, za'atar or Italian seasoning
1 cup plain yogurt
1 large garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey, plus more for drizzling
1 cup crumbled feta
1 ripe Hass avocado, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and heat oven to 400 degrees. Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Toss the cucumbers, tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set in the sink and toss to combine. Let sit to drain excess liquid, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the tortillas on the sheet pans, four per pan, and sprinkle each with the mozzarella and dried oregano. Bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, and the tortillas' edges are crispy but still pale, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While the tortillas are baking, make the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, honey and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
  • To serve, evenly divide the drained cucumbers and tomatoes among the tortillas. Top each with feta, avocado and parsley, and spoon the yogurt sauce over everything, leaving some back to serve on the side. As a final flourish, lightly drizzle the tortizzas with honey. You can eat these flat like mini pizzas or folded like tacos.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tortillas for the best results. Stale tortillas will be more likely to crack or break when you cut them into wedges.
  • If you don't have any taco seasoning, you can make your own. Simply combine 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tortilla wedges. They should be crispy on the outside but still soft and chewy on the inside.
  • Serve the tortilla wedges with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
  • These tortilla wedges can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or air fryer. This makes them a great option for a quick and easy snack or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Cheesy tortilla wedges are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give cheesy tortilla wedges a try. You won't be disappointed!
