# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 20 minutes flat, making it perfect for those nights when you need dinner without the fuss.
  • The tortilla gets genuinely crispy and golden, not soft or soggy like you might expect.
  • You control every topping, so it works whether you're vegetarian, a meat lover, or somewhere in between.
02 -
  • Don't skip brushing the tortilla with oil on both sides, even the bottom. That's where the crispiness magic happens.
  • Resist the urge to pile on toppings. A lighter hand keeps the tortilla crispy instead of steamed.
03 -
  • For maximum crispiness, place the tortillas directly on the oven rack instead of a baking sheet, but watch them closely to avoid burning.
  • If you like extra cheese pull, add a second light layer halfway through baking for that melty, indulgent finish.
