Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Spice Mix

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) to create a fragrant and flavorful cinnamon sugar blend.
  3. Prepare the tortillas: Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of each flour tortilla evenly with melted butter. Then generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides for maximum flavor coverage.
  4. Cut the tortillas: Cut the tortillas into desired shapes such as triangles, strips, or festive holiday shapes using kitchen scissors or a knife.
  5. Arrange on baking sheet: Place the shaped tortilla pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even baking.
  6. Bake the crisps: Bake the tortilla pieces in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they become crisp and acquire a light golden color.
  7. Cool the crisps: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to harden as they cool, achieving the perfect crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh tortillas for best crispiness.
  • Optional vanilla and nutmeg add extra warmth and depth to the flavor.
  • Store finished crisps in an airtight container to keep them crunchy.
  • These crisps can be served with dips like cream cheese frosting or chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
  • Adjust sugar and cinnamon amounts according to your sweetness and spice preference.
