Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 quarter cup Green chiles (diced, canned or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the flour tortillas on a large baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan and brush each tortilla lightly with melted butter.

Step 5

Spread a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese across the top of each tortilla.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the diced green chiles over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the tortillas are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the tortilla crisps from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes to make them easier to handle.

Step 9

Cut each tortilla into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm with sour cream on the side for dipping.
