Parmesan Tortilla Crisps




From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...We thought they could. We thought they would. They didn't. The victory that once seemed certain, eluded them that day. Our team, the Ducks, lost the BCS championship last Monday and it would be true, though sad to say, "There was no joy in Mudville" on that cold dark winter day. Some take such loss in measured stride while others turn away and it was then I learnt a lesson hard, to share with you today. Never, never, never say, "It's just a game" to a grieving sports enthusiast. Your sanity and ancestry will be questioned. Fortunately, there was food to help make things right. I know you have a score of snacks to serve with drinks on game days. I'd like you to consider just one more. The recipe for these crisps was developed by Giada De Laurentis and you might want to give it a try. They are good, inexpensive and very easy to make. They can be made up to two days before serving in they are kept in airtight containers at room temperature. I doubt you'll have to worry about leftovers. Here's the recipe.

Parmesan Tortilla Chips...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Giada De Laurentis

Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2) Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with aluminum foil. Whisk oil, oregano, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat just until warm. Set aside for 15 minutes. Brush oil mixture over both sides of tortillas. Stack tortillas and cut them into 1/2 to 3/4-inch wide strips. Arrange strips in a single layer over the baking sheets. Sprinkle cheese and salt over strips. Bake until strips are golden brown and crisp, about 12 minutes. Yield: 5 to 6 servings.

    I'm sorry that the Ducks lost on Monday. I'm not a big sport's fan, but the rest of my family gets quite involved, so I understand how hard those losses can be! These crisps look so yummy though! I always have extra corn tortillas lying around, so I'm eager to give this a try. Thank you so much for sharing. May your Sunday burst forth with joy and love.

    I guess all men around the world become passionate with a sport and they all have the same reactions towards a win or a loss. Food is universaly the right thing to please them during and after a game whatever the result is. Your snack entered on my list. Good day Mary!

    I'm sorry the Ducks lost and I can certainly understand why that phrase can be more than a little annoying to the team that lost.

    These tortilla crisps look so professional. It's hard to believe they can be made at home and come out looking as attractive as yours. Very impressive Mary.

    Your Parmesan Tortilla Crisps look fantastic, Mary! What a great recipe. Thanks for sharing it.

    I'm a Husky, but I'm still sorry that the Ducks lost (unlike some of my Husky fan friends who have an irrationally intense rivalry with Oregon).

    I'm not a pro football fan, but I've got to say today - Go Seahawks!!

    I support any SEC loss, so I was rooting for the Ducks :) There is no joy in Mudville today, either, because the Patriots are losing their playoff game. Unless there is divine intervention in the next 2 minutes, the Booze Hound will be trying to jump out the window!

    There was a very big, devestating sports loss in our household yesterday, so I can relate. I, too, have learned to take care in what I say afterwards. And of course, delicious food helps. This snack would appeal to my family in so many ways.
