Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Cajun spice mix
8 plain flour tortillas
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) or 320°F (160°C) for a convection fan oven.
In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil with the Cajun spice mix and stir until well blended.
Place one tortilla on a cutting board. Brush the spiced oil mixture evenly over the top surface of the tortilla.
Stack a second tortilla on top of the first and repeat brushing with the spiced oil. Continue layering and brushing the remaining tortillas until all are coated.
Using a sharp knife, cut the stacked tortillas into 8 wedges, as you would cut a pizza.
Carefully separate all the wedges and arrange them in a single layer on one or two baking sheets.
Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, until the tortillas turn golden brown and become crispy throughout. Watch carefully near the end to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Comments
This is a straightforward pantry project that lands at roughly $0.50 per serving, since flour tortillas and vegetable oil are staples at every Charlotte chain and Cajun spice is stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, and Walmart. The stated 17 minutes is honest if you're warming oil and toasting tortillas in a skillet, though a few extra minutes should be budgeted for getting the heat right and ensuring even browning. The real strength is flexibility: these reheat well and work equally as a side, a base for fillings, or broken into chips for dipping, making them a reliable weeknight tool for a family that eats at different times.
