Stack the tortillas one on top of the other and cut then in 8 wedges each.
Spread the tortilla wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet or aluminum foil. Sprinkle with cumin and salt to taste.

In case you store the tortillas, you can freshen them up before using them by putting them in the microwave for 45 about seconds at medium heat. Allow them to sit for 5 to 10 minutes to become hard and crunchy again.

Cook's notes
You can optionally spray the tortillas with cooking oil before seasoning them with cumin and salt. This will make them oily, but it will help the seasoning to stick on them. You can also use any other seasoning or even combination of seasonings of your choice (for example paprica powder, chili powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder etc.)
