Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas (6 inch)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare cinnamon sugar mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, stirring well to mix evenly. Set aside this cinnamon sugar blend.
- Brush tortillas with butter: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using a brush, evenly coat the top of each tortilla with the melted unsalted butter to help the cinnamon sugar stick.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar and slice: Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered tortillas until they are well coated. Then, using a pizza cutter, slice each tortilla into triangular chips.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the tortilla triangles in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Line the basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Air fry the chips: Cook the chips at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 to 8 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket gently to ensure even crisping on all sides.
- Cool and serve: Once the chips are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cooling helps maintain their crispiness before serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper specifically designed for air fryers to avoid blocking air circulation.
- For thicker tortillas, increase air frying time by 1-2 minutes if needed.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Try substituting granulated sugar with coconut sugar or brown sugar for a different flavor.
- Optional: Serve with a side of chocolate or caramel dip for extra indulgence.
