Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 flour tortillas
- ½ stick (113 grams/4 oz) butter
- ½ cup (120 milliliters/4 fl oz) cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C), establishing the ideal temperature for crafting crispy, golden tortilla chips.
- Tortilla Transformation: Brush each tortilla comprehensively with melted butter, ensuring complete surface coverage for optimal cinnamon sugar adherence.
- Seasoning Application: Lavishly dust both sides of buttered tortillas with cinnamon sugar mixture, creating an even, sweet layer that will caramelize during baking.
- Baking Configuration: Arrange tortillas on baking sheet in a single, non-overlapping layer, positioning them strategically for uniform crisping and golden-brown edges.
- Culinary Monitoring: Bake for 5-6 minutes, vigilantly observing the tortillas as they metamorphose from soft rounds into delicate, crunchy chips with perfectly caramelized edges.
- Cooling and Finishing: Allow chips to rest on baking sheet until completely cooled, enabling them to develop a satisfying, crisp texture, then gently fracture into rustic, bite-sized segments ready for immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Butter Coating Technique: Brush melted butter evenly on tortillas to help cinnamon sugar stick and create a golden, crispy texture.
- Precise Baking Time: Watch chips closely during 5-6 minute baking window to prevent burning and achieve perfect golden-brown edges.
- Single Layer Crucial: Arrange tortillas without overlapping to ensure uniform crispiness and even caramelization of cinnamon sugar.
- Cooling Is Key: Allow chips to cool completely on baking sheet to develop maximum crunchiness and enhance overall texture.
