- Place the tortilla strips in a mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until evenly coated.
- Add a pinch of salt and toss again to distribute the seasoning throughout the strips.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the tortilla strips in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
