Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 8 flour tortillas , (10 inch)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and top with wire cooling racks.
Microwave butter in a large bowl (with lid) for 1-2 minutes, or until completely melted.
- Cut the flour tortillas into 12 wedges each.
Add the tortilla wedges to the bowl of melted butter.
- Place lid firmly on the bowl and shake vigorously until the tortillas are evenly coated.
- In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar. Toss the mixture over the buttered tortillas.
- Place the lid back on the bowl and shake well. Separate any tortillas stuck together and re-shake to ensure they are all coated well.
Arrange the tortillas over the cooling racks and bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Some chips may still seem soft, but will get crispy as they cool.
every oven is different so i wouldn’t go by the time its giving you just bake them for about 2 to 4 minutes
These are great with cream cheese and you can use mixed spice (if in UK) if you haven’t got cinnamon or pumpkin spice.
Great suggestion, Cat.
