On a cutting board, brush both sides of the tortilla with the olive oil then season lightly with salt.
Cut the tortilla in half then slice each half into thin short strips about ¼-inch thick.
Place the cut strips onto a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake until strips are lightly browned and crisp, tossing about halfway through baking time, about 10 to 12 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle on additional salt and lit the strips cool.
Notes
Start with good quality tortillas. Look for tortillas made with stone-ground corn flour for the best flavor and texture.Cut the tortillas into strips that are about ½-inch wide. If they're too thick, they'll be chewy; too thin, and they'll be crispy.Provide space when baking. Make the pieces aren't touching each other so they can crisp up evenly in the oven.
