Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Crisps
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 flour tortillas
Instructions
- Cut Tortilla Wedges or Shapes: Cut each flour tortilla into 6 to 8 wedges or use a cookie cutter to cut festive shapes. This creates the base for your crisps.
- Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar and Melt Butter: Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then spread the mixture evenly on a small plate. In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter.
- Coat Tortilla Pieces: Dip each tortilla piece into the melted butter, letting excess drip off. Then, press only one side of each piece onto the cinnamon sugar plate, coating that side thoroughly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated tortilla pieces cinnamon sugar side up on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced apart for even baking.
- Bake the Crisps: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the crisps become golden and crunchy. Keep an eye to avoid burning.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. This allows them to firm up and become extra crisp before enjoying.
