Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips Crispy and Delightful Snack
Ingredients
- 6 small flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- a pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. If you opt for extra flavor, stir in the vanilla extract.
- Using a pastry brush, generously brush one side of each tortilla with the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side of the tortillas. Ensure they're well-coated for optimal sweetness.
- Stack the tortillas and use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice them into wedges (eighths or sixths, depending on your preference).
- Place the tortilla wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overlapping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chips are crispy and lightly golden brown, flipping them halfway through the baking time for even crisping.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, allowing them to crisp up further.
- Enjoy your cinnamon sugar tortilla chips as is or serve them with your favorite dipping sauces like chocolate sauce, caramel, or fruit salsa!
💡 Chef's Notes
