Ingredients
  

1 large flour tortilla (or 2 smaller tortillas)

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)

Olive oil spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional, but recommended)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To ensure easy clean-up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Tortilla: If you're using a large flour tortilla, cut it into 8 triangles for easy snacking. If you opt for smaller tortillas, you can choose to leave them whole or cut them into quarters for bite-sized pieces.

      Create the Base: Arrange the tortilla pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the surface with olive oil or brush it generously with olive oil to achieve a crispy texture during baking.

        Spread Pizza Sauce: Using a spoon, evenly spread the pizza sauce across the tortilla(s), ensuring to leave a small border around the edges for a perfect crispy finish.

          Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce. Follow this by evenly placing the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, allowing for maximum flavor in every bite.

            Season for Flavor: Enhance the dish by sprinkling Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if you're looking for a spicy kick) over the assembled tortilla pizza.

              Bake: Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the cheese is bubbly and begins to brown, and the tortilla edges turn a beautiful golden and crispy color.

                Cool and Garnish: Once baked, carefully remove the pizza chips from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes. Optionally, for a fresh touch, garnish with torn fresh basil leaves before slicing into triangles or serving them whole.

                  Enjoy: Serve your delicious crispy pizza chips warm and pair them with extra pizza sauce on the side for delightful dipping!
