Main Ingredients:
- 4–6 flour tortillas
- ½ stick (113 grams) butter
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), creating a warm environment for transforming soft tortillas into crispy, sweet chips.
- Place tortillas on a clean, flat surface, preparing them for their flavor transformation.
- Use a pastry brush to thoroughly coat each tortilla with melted butter, ensuring complete coverage that will help the cinnamon sugar adhere perfectly.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously across both sides of each buttered tortilla, creating an even, sweet coating that will caramelize during baking.
- Carefully transfer the sugar-coated tortillas onto a baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer without overlapping to guarantee even crisping.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, watching carefully as the edges turn golden brown and the tortillas transform into delicate, crisp chips.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the sheet, allowing them to crisp up further and develop a satisfying crunch.
- Once cooled, break the tortillas into rustic, bite-sized pieces, creating an irresistible snack perfect for enjoying alone or as a delightful dessert accompaniment.
Notes
- Versatile Snack: These cinnamon sugar tortilla chips transform ordinary tortillas into a delightful dessert or sweet snack that’s quick to prepare and irresistibly crunchy.
- Butter is Key: Evenly brushing butter on both sides ensures crispy texture and helps the cinnamon sugar mixture stick perfectly to each tortilla.
- Precise Timing Matters: Watch chips closely during baking – just 5-6 minutes can turn them from golden and crisp to burnt, so keep a close eye on the oven.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy these chips alone as a sweet treat or elevate them by pairing with vanilla ice cream, creating a simple yet impressive dessert.
- Temperature Control: Maintaining the oven at 375°F guarantees consistent browning and ensures each chip crisps up evenly without becoming too dark.
- Easy Customization: Experiment with different spice ratios in the cinnamon sugar mixture to suit your personal taste preferences.
