Ingredients
Scale
- 6 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; this prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Stack your flour tortillas and with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice them into 8 even wedges, like you’re cutting a pie. Gently separate the wedges and spread them out on your prepared baking sheets, ensuring they’re in a single layer without too much overlap.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until it’s completely liquid. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of salt.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of each tortilla wedge with the melted butter. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered tortilla wedges, ensuring each chip is well coated. Flip them over and sprinkle the other side too.
- Arrange the buttered and sugared tortilla wedges back on the baking sheets in a single layer. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are perfectly crisp. Watch them closely to prevent burning. Once golden, remove them from the oven and carefully transfer the hot chips to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, start mixing on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Once your Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips have cooled to room temperature, arrange the golden, sparkling chips artfully on a platter. Place a bowl of the freshly made whipped cream dip right in the center, or nestled beside the pile of chips. You can also add a small sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel over the whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance.
