Dessert Nachos
Description
The recipe begins by frying small corn tortilla triangles in hot oil until golden and crisp, then immediately tossing them in a cinnamon sugar mixture to ensure the sugar sticks while warm. These crispy, sweet tortilla chips form the base of the dessert.
Fresh banana and strawberries provide juicy, fruity contrast, while toasted walnuts add texture and a nutty note. Whipped topping adds creamy lightness, and chocolate and caramel sauces drizzle over the assembly enhance the overall sweetness and richness.
These dessert nachos can be assembled on a serving board, layering the tortilla chips and toppings in two rounds. They offer a combination of warm crispiness, fresh fruit, creaminess, and rich sauces. The tortillas can be prepared ahead, stored airtight, and gently reheated before topping. It's recommended to add toppings just before serving to maintain texture and avoid sogginess.
Ingredients
Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas
- 10 small corn tortillas cut into triangles
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- canola oil for frying
Toppings
- 1 banana sliced
- 1 cup strawberries diced
- ¼ cup walnut chopped, toasted
- ¾ cup whipped topping such as Cool Whip
- ¼ cup chocolate sauce
- ¼ cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Heat 1 ½ inches of oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Combine sugar and cinnamon together.
- Cooking in batches of 3-4, cook tortillas for 1-2 minutes flipping halfway through cooking. Tortillas should be golden brown and crispy.
- Place on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture immediately.
- Fill the serving board with half of the tortillas, top with your desired toppings. Repeat the process once more.
- Drizzle with chocolate and caramel sauces and top with whipped cream.
Notes
- Flip tortilla triangles once during frying to achieve golden, crispy texture on both sides.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar powder immediately while chips are still warm for better adhesion.
- Limit toppings to one or two flavor combinations to prevent excessive sweetness and stickiness.
- Fry the tortilla chips up to a day ahead, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Warm stored chips in the oven for about 10 minutes before adding toppings to refresh crispness.
- Add toppings just before serving for optimal texture and freshness.
