#### Ingredients
– **1 large flour tortilla** (or pizza dough)
– **1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese**
– **1/2 cup pizza sauce** (store-bought or homemade)

– **1/2 teaspoon dried oregano**
– **1/2 teaspoon dried basil**
– **1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes** (optional, for heat)
– **Olive oil** (for brushing)
– **Fresh basil leaves** (for garnish, optional)
#### Instructions
1. **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Prepare the Tortilla**: Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean surface, or roll out pizza dough into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
3. **Cut the Tortilla/Dough**: Slice the tortilla or dough into triangles or squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
4. **Brush with Olive Oil**: Lightly brush both sides of each piece with olive oil.
5. **Add Seasonings**: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cut pieces.
6. **Add Cheese**: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the seasoned pieces, followed by grated Parmesan cheese.
7. **Arrange on a Baking Sheet**: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tortilla or dough pieces in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
8. **Bake**: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
9. **Cool Down**: Remove from the oven and let the pizza chips cool for a few minutes to crisp up.
10. **Serve with Pizza Sauce**: Warm up your pizza sauce for dipping while the chips cool.
11. **Garnish**: Optionally, chop fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the pizza chips.
12. **Enjoy**: Serve warm with pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
