How to Make Cheesy Baked Tortilla Chips

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the chips.
5. Top with the seasoned breadcrumbs and fresh herbs.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chips are golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chili flakes or your favorite hot sauce before baking.
• Ensure the chips are in a single layer on the baking sheet for even baking and maximum crispiness.
• Use a mix of cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick or gouda for a rich flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar and mozzarella for your favorite cheese blend.
• Experiment with different fresh herbs like basil or oregano for a unique twist.
• Add sliced jalapeños or olives for added flavor and texture.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh salsa or pico de gallo for dipping
• Guacamole for a creamy complement
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt for added richness
• A side of black bean dip for a hearty snack
