Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For Brushing
- 1/4 cup melted butter or neutral oil
Optional
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Cut Tortillas: Cut the 8 flour tortillas into triangles using a knife or pizza cutter to create chip-sized pieces.
- Brush with Butter or Oil: Brush both sides of each tortilla triangle with the melted butter or neutral oil to help the cinnamon sugar adhere and give a crispy texture.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Coat Tortilla Triangles: Sprinkle or dredge the buttered tortilla triangles with the cinnamon-sugar mix evenly on both sides for a sweet flavor.
- Bake the Chips: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the coated tortilla triangles on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure even crispiness.
- Fry the Chips (Alternative Method): Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated tortilla triangles in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cinnamon tortilla chips to cool slightly to crisp up further before serving as a tasty snack or dessert accompaniment.
Notes
- You can use either baking or frying method depending on your preference for a lighter or richer chip.
- For a dairy-free option, use neutral oil instead of melted butter.
- Adding a pinch of salt enhances the sweet cinnamon flavor.
- Serve with dips like chocolate sauce, caramel, or fruit salsa for a flavorful treat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
