Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Take each flour tortilla and brush both sides generously with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over both sides of each buttered tortilla, ensuring complete coverage.
- Using a sharp pizza cutter or knife, cut each tortilla into 8 equal triangular wedges.
- Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Remove from the oven when the chips are crisp and golden brown around the edges.
- Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to crisp up further.
- Transfer to a wire rack or serving plate and serve immediately while still warm and crispy.
Tips
- Use fresh, soft flour tortillas for the best texture and crispiness.
- Make sure to brush the tortillas evenly with melted butter to ensure consistent browning.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each chip space to crisp up properly.
- Watch the chips carefully in the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Let the chips cool slightly to achieve maximum crunchiness.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture.
- Experiment with different tortilla types like whole wheat for a healthier variation.
- Serve warm with a dipping sauce like caramel or chocolate for an extra indulgent treat!
