Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or Italian herbs along with the garlic salt. If you prefer a healthier option, substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or corn tortillas. Ensure you cut the tortillas uniformly to achieve even crispness, and keep an eye on them while baking to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
Garlic crisps make a fantastic snack on their own or can be served with dips like salsa, guacamole, or hummus. They also pair beautifully with soups and salads, adding a crunchy texture. For a fun twist, try them alongside a creamy dip from the Broccoli And Mushroom Quiche recipe for a delightful appetizer platter.
Storage & Reheating
Once cool, store garlic crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To maintain their crispness, avoid refrigerating them. If they lose their crunch, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until they are warm and crispy again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of tortillas for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier choice. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the tortillas you choose.
