Cinnamon Sugar Crisps

CINNAMON SUGAR
TORTILLA CRISPS

Serving these with vanilla bean ice cream makes a great finale to any Mexican or Spanish inspired meal. They will also serve you well by themselves as a snack to fill that sweet tooth craving and get rid of those leftover tortillas you know are still lurking in the fridge.

Ingredients:

6 ea. Flour Tortillas (6 inch leave whole, or cut larger tortilla into wedges)

4 Tbl. Butter (unsalted preferably)

3 Tbl. Cinnamon Sugar

Technique:

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Warm a sheet pan in the oven, then melt butter onto pan. Layer tortillas on sheet pan, then flip so both sides are coated. Remove buttered tortillas to a second pan or plate (you will see why in a moment). Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar liberally onto the tortillas. Now layer back onto the original pan with the butter. If tortillas slightly overlap in baking pan, don't stress.

As to why the transfer, it is to keep excess sugar from spilling all over your pan and help

prevent the sugar from burning in that hot oven causing you to soak and scrub your pan

full of carbonized sugar.

Bake tortillas until crispy and slightly puffed,

5-6 minutes depending on your oven.
