Brush tortillas with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle with a little salt and place one on top of an oven safe bowl. Place another oven safe bowl upside down on top of the tortilla. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 Degrees for about 10 minutes. Remove the top bowl and bake until crisp, about 5 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas
