Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully fry tortillas, one at a time, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Use tongs to transfer the fried tortillas to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Spread salsa evenly onto each fried tortilla, leaving a small border. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. (5 minutes)

04

Step
8 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, about 8 minutes. (8 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of taco seasoning to the salsa before adding the cheese.
Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding cooked ground beef, shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños.
For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute with another hard cheese like Asiago or Pecorino Romano.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the tortillas; otherwise, they will absorb too much oil.
