Cinnamon Tortilla Crisps
Tortilla crisps cut into Halloween shapes with butter, cinnamon, and sugar
Equipment
- cooking thermometer
- Halloween cookie cutters
Ingredients
- 3 large flour tortillas (or as many as you would like to use)
- ⅓ cup cooking oil
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Using cookie cutters, cut Halloween shapes from a tortilla. Cut the shapes as tight as possible so you can use most of the tortilla. The number of shapes you get from each depends on the shape of the cookie cutters and how close together you cut the shapes.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon together thoroughly and place in a shaker. (If you don't have a shaker, you can spoon the mixture over the cooked shapes.)
- Melt the butter in a small microwavable bowl.
- In a frying pan or saucepan, pour about 1/2 inch of cooking oil. Heat the oil to 350°F.
- When the oil reaches temperature, drop a few tortilla shapes into the oil and cook for a few seconds. Turn and cook the other side of each tortilla until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. It works best to cook the tortillas in small batches because they brown so quickly.
- Generously sprinkle the sugar mixture onto the shapes as soon as you remove them from the cooking oil. Then drizzle with a few drops of butter. Repeat the process until all the tortillas are cooked.
Notes
Cutting Tortillas
It is best to cut the tortillas on a cutting board. Place a cookie cutter on the tortilla and press firmly. Hold the cutter firmly to secure the tortilla, and slide it back and forth against the cutting board until it cuts through the tortilla.Yield
With this recipe, you can make as many or as few crisps as you like. The above serving amount is just a yield estimate. The yield amount depends on the size of both the tortillas and the cookie cutters. However, you can get approximately 8 pieces out of an 11-inch tortilla if your cookie cutters are about 3 inches or less. Use any scraps to make extra crisps.Cooking Time
It only takes a few seconds per side to cook these crisps. You can cook several batches in 10 minutes. It helps to have someone sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture and drizzle the butter.Baking Alternative
These crisps can also be baked in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. For the oven method, dip them in melted butter and then the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Try air frying them for extra crispiness.Nutrition
