CRISCO No-Stick Cooking Spray
8 6-inch corn tortillas
Salt, to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a baking sheet and both sides of the corn tortillas with Crisco No Stick Cooking Spray. Slice each tortilla into 8 wedges; sprinkle lightly with salt. Place on baking sheet; bake for 12-15 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned.

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Put Crisco into a mixer bowl. Add cheese gradually, beating at medium speed until mixture is fairly smooth. Blend flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually add to cheese mixture, mixing at low speed. Stir in cereal with spoon. Shape into balls, using 1 tablespoon for each ball.
