Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and mix it with the olive oil. Set aside.

Step 3

Lay the flour tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet. Depending on the size of your tortillas and baking sheet, you may need to work in batches.

Step 4

Brush the top side of each tortilla with the butter and olive oil mixture, making sure to cover the edges for even browning.

Step 5

In another small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cheese and seasoning mixture evenly over the buttered tortillas, pressing gently with your hands to help the toppings stick.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for around 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.

Step 8

Remove the tortillas from the oven and let them cool slightly. They will crisp further as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, use the tortilla crusts as a base for your favorite toppings, or enjoy them plain as a snack or appetizer.
