Tortilla Crisp

When we buy tortillas in a pack we have a choice of six pieces or ten pieces and I hope there is an option for eight as six is not enough for us and ten is too much so we end up buying the ten but end up with extra two all the time. This excess is then chucked in the freezer in the hope of using them again in the future, but reusing them for wrapping stuff is not idea as it is all dried out of its moisture.

In an effort not to throw away food we reuse them on some other ways like tortilla soup, use it as a crispy pizza base or our post today which is the tortilla crisp.
