Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chips.
- Arrange Chips: Spread the tortilla chips evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla chips to cover them with gooey cheese.
- Top with Pepperoni: Place the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese for a savory, spicy flavor.
- Drizzle Sauce: Drizzle the marinara sauce evenly over the chips, cheese, and pepperoni to add a tangy tomato flavor.
- Bake: Bake the assembled chips in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and becomes bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns and help the cheese set slightly.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
- Use thick-cut pepperoni to prevent the slices from curling too much while baking.
- Serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for maximum cheesiness and crispiness.
