One of my favorite things in the Fall/Winter is a nice, hot bowl of soup. I've been testing out variations of crock pot chicken tortilla soup (we've almost got it perfected!) and decided to try a cracker substitute tonight to go with our soup. This summer mom and I tried a new lunch place by the cabin, where they served these delicious tortilla type crackers to go with the chicken tortilla soup. So tonight I attempted to duplicate the tortillas.
Directions (I'd make 1 per person)
1 tortilla
1 T olive oil (I used Target's Market Pantry garlic and herb infused EVOO)
sea salt (to taste)
1tsp asiago cheese
Pre-heat oven to 300F. Use a basting brush to lightly coat the top side of the tortilla with olive oil. Sprinkle the tortilla with sea salt and cook for approximately 6 minutes. Remove from the oven, use tongs to turn over, and repeat the olive oil and sea salt ritual. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until lightly brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and place on a plate. Cut into quarters using a pizza cutter. Optional: lightly sprinkle freshly shredded asiago cheese on top.
Total Calories: less than 200 per person! Did you know that only 5 Ritz crackers are 80 calories? Most people eat way more than 10 crackers with their soup. And this tastes much better.
