📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a glass measuring cup or small bowl combine the oregano, thyme, basil, cayenne, creole seasoning, cajun seasoning, pepper, and salt. Whisk to combine. Working with four tortillas at a time, microwave them for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes. Quickly rub with olive oil and sprinkle one side with the spice mixture. Just do a sprinkle, about 1/2 teaspoon to 3/4 teaspoon, on each tortilla reserving the rest of the spice mixture for later. Place tortillas on a taco mold if you have one. If not, invert a regular-sized muffin tin. Fold the tortillas gently and prop up between the bottom of 4 muffin cups. Bake at 450ºF for ⏱️ 5-7 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
