Craving a ridiculously easy and delicious treat? Transform ordinary tortillas into irresistible cinnamon sugar crisps with just a few simple ingredients. Get ready to discover the magic behind this delightful snack that's ready in minutes!
Ingredients
To whip up these cinnamon sugar tortilla crisps, you'll only need a handful of ingredients, which is awesome! I always have these items in my pantry, so it's like a dessert miracle.
First off, you're gonna need around 3 tortillas. I'm using regular, but you can substitute yours.
Next, grab two tablespoons of butter – I like spreadable butter cause, let's face it, who has time to wait for it to soften? I don't!
Now, let's talk flavor – you'll want one-half teaspoon of cinnamon. The aroma of cinnamon spice creates a warm sense of comfort. If you're feeling extra, add a pinch more, 'cause why not?
Lastly, sugar, you'll need two tablespoons – I think you can't have cinnamon without sugar, can you? Now that we've got it all, let's get cooking.
Instructions
Now that we have our simple ingredients ready, it's time to turn them into something snackable! First, I preheat my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit — that's about 180 degrees Celsius!
Next, I spread butter onto each tortilla, just like I'm buttering toast. Or, if I'm feeling fancy, I melt the butter — then brush it on. After that, I sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously. Don't be shy! If you don't want to throw away any kitchen scraps, this is a great alternative to tossing leftover tortillas.
I stack the tortillas and cut them into strips or triangles. I like strips 'cause they're easy to dip! Now, I spread these out on a baking tray in a single layer.
I bake them for 5 to 8 minutes until they're golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them – ovens vary! Finally, I eat them warm…or at room temperature. Voila!
Recipe Notes
Snack time's not over yet—let's chat about making these crisps even better!
First, storage is key. You can store these tasty crisps in an airtight container for about 2 to 3 days. If they last that long, that is!
Now, about cutting these tortillas—I've got a method to my madness! I cut each tortilla into 6 strips lengthwise. Then, I divide the outer strips in half and the rest into thirds. Why, you ask? This gives you about 16 pieces per tortilla, perfect for even snacking!
These are just little touches to help you enjoy these simple treats even more. I hope you like it!
Nutrition Information
Okay, let's explore into what's inside these crispy delights—nutrition, that is! I've crunched the numbers, and each piece is super light.
Each serving—that's about 3 grams, or one little piece—comes in at just 9 calories! It's a tiny treat. You'll get about 1.2 grams of carbohydrates but only 0.1 grams of protein.
Now, for the fats, you're looking at 0.5 grams, around 1% of your daily value. Cholesterol is practically nonexistent at 1 mg, and sodium is a mere 4 mg; potassium, just 3 mg! Fiber? A surprising 0.5 grams—that's 2%–and only 0.1 grams of sugar in my recipe. I kept it simple! It's such a small sweetness! How great is that?
