How to make Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
- Preparation for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure a non-stick surface.
- Spray the Parchment Paper: Apply a light coating of nonstick cooking spray to the parchment paper, creating a barrier that prevents sticking.
- Cut the Tortillas: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice the flour tortillas into wedges. Depending on the desired size, you can cut them into 4 or 6 pieces per tortilla.
- Arrange and Spray the Tortillas: Place the cut tortillas on the parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Spray them with nonstick cooking spray or alternatively, brush them with melted butter for added richness.
- Season with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the tortillas generously with cinnamon sugar. If you don't have a pre-mixed cinnamon sugar, simply combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle evenly. Be generous.
- Final Spritz: Lightly spray the tortillas one more time on top. This helps the cinnamon sugar adhere and creates a slightly glossy finish.
- Bake Until Crispy: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tortillas for 8-10 minutes or until they have reached a crispy texture.
