Cinnamon sugar tortilla chips are a simple and delicious dessert that everyone loves. You can serve them as snacks when the children are out of school or as an after-dinner dessert. Every time I make them, they remind me of my childhood. My children love helping me cut the tortillas into different shapes, using cookie cutters, whether we’re making them for a birthday or for holidays, like Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas.

  • 12 flour tortillas

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)

    Using 3” cookie cutters, cut shapes out of the flour tortillas.

    Use a spoon to take the tortilla chips out of the oil and place them on a dish lined with paper towels so the excess oil is absorbed.

    Dust the chips with the mix of sugar and cinnamon, making sure they’re completely covered on both sides.
