Calories 180kcal
Ingredients
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Brush both sides of each tortilla lightly with melted butter.
- Stack the tortillas and cut them into 8 wedges each (like a pizza).
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer across both prepared baking sheets, making sure none overlap.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over all the chips. You can also toss them in a bowl with the butter and sugar mixture if you prefer even coating.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, checking at 8 minutes. Chips are done when they are golden and just starting to deepen in color at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pan. They will crisp up fully as they cool.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
For extra flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla powder or a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture. Brown sugar produces a deeper caramel flavor and slightly chewier texture. Corn tortillas can be substituted but will produce a thinner, crispier result with a different flavor.
