Preheat the oven to 400F.

Spread out the corn tortillas on a baking sheet. Drizzle some oil across the tortillas and use your fingers to spread it around, creating a thin layer. Do the same on the second side. I usually eyeball the amount of oil, but a heaping teaspoon is usually enough to coat both sides of all six tortillas.

Bake the first side in the oven for 4 minutes. Flip the tortillas and bake for an additional 4 minutes or until they are turning golden brown. If using thicker tortillas they will probably need to bake for an additional 1-2 minutes per side.
