Instructions
Prepare
- In a heavy bottomed pot (I use a dutch oven), add enough oil to fill the pot by about 1/2-1 inch. Heat over MED heat, until about 350°F.
- Line a baking sheet with a paper towel, and top with a wire cooling rack. Set near the stove, as this will be where you put the fried chips.
- Place a shallow bowl or another baking sheet next to the cooling rack. This will be where you toss the fried chips with the sugar mixture.
Make cinnamon sugar
- While the oil is heating up, add the sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl. Set aside for now.
Cut tortillas
- Stack the tortillas on top of each other and carefully slice them in half, then each half into 3 triangles (this will give you 6 triangles per tortilla).
Fry
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place a handful of sliced tortillas into the oil.
- Fry for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove chips to the cooling rack briefly to drain excess oil, then add them to the shallow bowl, and sprinkle with some of the cinnamon sugar over the top and toss to coat.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and sugar mixture.
Serve
- Serve the chips with your desired dipping sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Oven Directions:
- This recipe makes approximately 48 chips, which you're free to divide into as many servings as you'd like.
- The total time for the recipe doesn't include the time it takes for the oil to come up to temperature, as this will vary from person to person.
- Add 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter to the ingredient list.
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside. Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
- Cut flour tortillas into triangles, place in large bowl. Pour melted butter over cut tortillas, toss until well coated.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture into bowl, tossing as you go to evenly distribute the mixture.
- Bake about 17-20 minutes or until crispy, oven times may vary, watch closely so they don’t burn. I like to start checking at about 13-14 minutes.
