Description

These Spooky Cinnamon Sugar Flour Tortilla Crisps are a quick and festive treat perfect for Halloween or any time you want a crunchy, sweet snack. Made by coating flour tortilla wedges in melted butter and a cinnamon sugar mixture, then baked until crisp, they offer a delightful combination of buttery, cinnamon-sweet flavor and satisfying crunch. This easy recipe yields a dozen crisps in under 30 minutes, making it an ideal homemade snack for parties or cozy nights in.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with melted coconut oil or vegan butter.
