Tortilla Cheese Crisps Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Toss together the Cheddar, Parmesan, chili powder, cumin and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Spoon heaping tablespoonfuls of the cheese mixture about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Spread out each pile and lightly pat down (it's ok if there are gaps). Bake until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
• Let the crisps cool for a few seconds on the baking sheet and then use a metal spatula to lift and drape them over a rolling pin to cool completely. (You can also let them cool on the baking sheet for flat crisps.)
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix salt and chili powder. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges. In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 350°. Fry chips, several at a time, 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels., Transfer chips to a large bowl; sprinkle with salt mixture and gently toss to coat.

Steps:

• Shred the cheese if you have bricks of cheese. Mix the cheeses together in a bowl.
• Lay out the corn tortillas on a baking sheet.
• Turn the oven to broil 400°F.
• Sprinkle 1 oz. of green chilies on the tortilla if desired.
• Evenly distribute the cheese on all four tortillas right to the edge of each one.
• Place the sliced pimientos on each tortilla if desired.
• Place the baking pan about four inches from the broiler. Broil about 2-3 minutes Until cheese is melted.
• Take out, slice if desired. Use a sharp knife.
• Note: To make a complete meal, sprinkle browned drained hamburger or turkey burger on each tortilla first, then the chilies, cheese and pimientos. This recipe is a meal stretcher and kids love it.
• Pass the sour cream or guacamole.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cans of chicken broth and canned tomatoes. Add fresh tomatoes.
• Mix Anaheim chile peppers, jalapeno pepper, cumin, chili powder, and pepper into the pot. Stir in chicken. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer soup until flavors combine, about 20 minutes.
• Ladle soup into serving bowls; twist 1 lime wedge into each bowl. Top with corn chips, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, avocado slices, and cilantro.

Steps:

• Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Place tortillas on baking sheet; spray nonstick spray.
• Sprinkle cheese evenly among the four tortillas.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes.
• Top with salsa.

Steps:

• Tip tortilla chips on to a baking tray, pour over salsa and scatter over a few sliced spring onions.
• Grate over a good chunk of cheese (fontina is perfect, but cheddar will do). Add a pinch of crushed chilli flakes, then put under a hot grill for about 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve with soured cream or guacamole (optional).

Steps:

• Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. Let oil heat up for 20 seconds, swirling the pan around so the oil coats the bottom.
• Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Once the cheese begins to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute, use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half. Using the spatula, press down firmly on the top of the tortilla until some of the cheese runs out into the pan. Let the quesadilla cook until the cheese that's leaked out solidifies and turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the quesadilla over and let cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 400 degrees.
• Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on two large sheet pans. Place a scant tablespoon of shredded cheese over each chip, pressing slightly to adhere. Top each chip with 1 or 2 slices pickled jalapeño. Sprinkle or spoon the pickled jalapeño brine all over the chips. Bake until cheese melts completely and begins to lightly brown at the edges, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve nachos immediately, directly on the hot baking sheets, or use a spatula to transfer them to a platter.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for the tortillas.
• Spread each tortilla with a thick layer of the spread.
• It will seem like a lot of topping, but it is just right.
• Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges.
• Put on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are crisp and brown.
• Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• Whisk the oil, oregano, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat just until warm.
• Set aside for 15 minutes. Brush the oil mixture over both sides of the tortillas. Stack the tortillas and cut them into 1/2 to 3/4-inch wide strips. Arrange the strips in a single layer over the baking sheets. Sprinkle the cheese and salt over the strips. Bake until the strips are golden brown and crisp, about 12 minutes.
• Do-Ahead Tip: The tortilla strips can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store in airtight containers and keep at room temperature.
