After one taste, folks will wonder why you didn't make these crunchy garlic-and-herb snacks sooner. The oven-baked tortilla chips get their appeal from a star-shaped cookie cutter, but other cookie cutter shapes also work nicely.

Ingredients

6 flour tortillas (10 inches)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Brush both sides of each tortilla with butter. Combine remaining ingredients; sprinkle over one side of tortillas. With a 2-1/2-in. star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out several stars from each tortilla; discard scraps. Place stars on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 7-9 minutes or until crisp.

I would not discard the scraps, they can be baked up and eaten too. Just because they have no particular "shape" doesn't mean they aren't edible! Too much waste in this world.
