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 until evenly mixed. Set this mixture aside.
- Butter the tortillas: 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 sugar mixture adhere and to add flavor.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered tortillas, ensuring they are evenly coated. This creates that signature sweet and spicy flavor.
- Cut into triangles: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the coated tortillas into triangle-shaped chips for even cooking and easy snacking.
- Arrange in air fryer: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper for easy cleanup and place the tortilla triangles in a single layer to ensure they’re evenly cooked and crispy.
- Air fry the chips: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crisping. Monitor closely to avoid burning, aiming for a golden-brown color and desired crispness.
- Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and transfer them to a wire rack to cool, which helps them stay crispy. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled.
Notes
- Ensure the air fryer basket is lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps the chips cook evenly on all sides.
- Watch closely during air frying since cooking time can vary depending on your air fryer model.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispiness for up to 2 days.
- For a healthier version, lightly spray the tortillas with oil instead of butter.
