For the Seasoning Mix

• 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (Can use olive oil for added flavor; adjust quantity based on cracker preference)
• 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (Adjust the amount for spiciness preference or use a homemade blend)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Fresh minced garlic is an alternative; reduce quantity slightly)

Main Ingredient

• 1 cup Crackers (Use gluten-free crackers for a gluten-free option)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for baking the crackers at a low temperature, which will ensure they become crisp without burning.
2. Mix Seasonings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes. This mixture will flavor the crackers, giving them a spicy, garlicky, and savory taco taste.
3. Coat Crackers: Place the crackers in a large mixing bowl or resealable bag, then pour the seasoning oil mixture over them. Toss or shake gently to ensure each cracker is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated crackers evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them bake uniformly and become crispy on all sides.
5. Initial Bake: Bake the crackers for 10 minutes in the preheated oven to start crisping and setting the seasoning on the crackers.
6. Stir and Continue Baking: Gently stir or flip the crackers to promote even cooking, then continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the crackers turn golden brown and crispy.

Notes

• Use olive oil instead of vegetable oil for a richer flavor, but monitor the oil quantity to avoid soggy crackers.
• Adjust the amount of taco seasoning and chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
• For a gluten-free version, substitute regular crackers with gluten-free crackers.
• Keep an eye on the crackers during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning since oven temperatures can vary.
• Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before storing to maintain crispiness.
