Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the tortilla chips will bake evenly and become crispy.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. You can choose either corn or flour tortillas based on your preference, but flour tortillas are recommended for their softer texture.
- Cut the Tortillas:
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into triangles. You can adjust the size based on your preference, but a standard chip size of around 8 triangles per tortilla works well.
- Melt the Butter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, melt the unsalted butter until it is fully liquefied. This will be used to coat the tortilla triangles and help the cinnamon sugar mixture adhere to them.
- Coat the Tortillas:
- Using a pastry brush or your fingers, generously coat each tortilla triangle with the melted butter. Ensure that both sides are well-covered to enhance the flavor and achieve a crispy texture during baking.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to create a uniform cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over each butter-coated tortilla triangle. Make sure to coat both sides evenly, pressing the cinnamon sugar into the tortilla to ensure it sticks.
