Notes

  • To cook corn tortillas, preheat oven to 375°F. Brush each side of the tortilla with olive oil and generously salt. Bake 4 minutes, flip over and bake an additional 5-7 minutes or until browned and crisp.
  • Tortillas can also be fried in a shallow pan in a little oil until crisp.
  • Optional Toppings:  We love shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, olives, jalapenos, cilantro, diced red onions, sour cream.
