Ingredients

8 Plain flour or corn tortillas
3 tablespoon Granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
3 tablespoon Unsalted butter melted

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Stack the plain tortillas and cut them into 6 or 8 equal triangles (like pizza slices) using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer across a large baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes or until they are golden, flipping them over halfway through the baking time. Watch them very closely, as they can burn quickly.
Remove the chips from the oven and brush them lightly with the melted butter and toss them gently in a large bowl with the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated. Serve with your favorite sweet dips or fruit salsa.

Notes

Cut the tortilla triangles into similar sizes so they bake evenly.
Arrange the tortillas in a single layer without overlapping.
Flip the chips halfway through baking for even browning.
Watch them closely during the last few minutes because tortillas can brown quickly.
Brush on just enough melted butter to lightly coat the chips without making them greasy.
Toss the chips with the cinnamon sugar while they're still warm so the coating sticks well.
Let the chips cool for several minutes before serving so they become even crispier.
Make a double batch if you're serving a crowd because they disappear quickly.
