• ¼ cup melted butter

• ½ cup sugar

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

• Optional: a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for extra warmth

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3: Cut the Tortillas

Slice the flour tortillas into strips, triangles, or festive shapes—whatever you prefer.

Brush each piece lightly with melted butter, then dip or sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 5: Bake

Arrange the coated pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Allow the crisps to cool completely. They will get even crunchier as they cool.
