Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Use a round cutter to cut the tortillas into circles that fit into a muffin tin, pressing them down to form cups.
3. Brush the tortilla cups lightly with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
4. While the cups are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, sautéing until soft.
