Easy "Crackers"

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.
