How to Make Cheesy Tortilla Chips

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles to create your chips.
3. In a large bowl, toss the tortilla triangles with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
4. Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the chips are golden and crisp.
6. Remove the chips from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Once done, remove the chips from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili powder or cumin to the olive oil before tossing it with the chips.
• Use a combination of cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet; this ensures even crisping of the chips.

Easy Variations

• Add sliced jalapeños on top for a spicy twist.
• Serve with guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for dipping.
• Substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh guacamole for dipping
• Salsa or pico de gallo
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt
• A refreshing margarita or iced tea
