Instructions

OVEN INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F

  5. Put your tortilla on a cutting board.
  6. Brush the tortillas with the melted butter on one side, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each. Shake off an excess that doesn’t stick.
  7. Use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the tortilla into 6 pieces. 
  8. Put the tortilla chip pieces onto the lined baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
  9. About half way through you’ll want to shake the tray and spray with some cooking oil spray if they seem dry.
  10. Prepare your fruit and nuts by chopping them into bite sized pieces.
  11. Once the chips have finished baking and have cooled, arrange them on a plate.
  12. Add your fresh fruit, pistachios, and light ice cream or light whipped cream

AIR FRYER INSTRUCTIONS:

  2. Next, melt your butter. You can complete this step in the microwave.
  3. In another small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Add your tortilla to a cutting board with a piece of parchment paper on your working space.
  5. Brush the tortillas with the melted butter on one side, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each. Shake off the extra.
  6. Use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the tortilla into 6 pieces. 
  7. Transfer your small parchment paper sheet with the flour tortilla chip pieces into your air fryer and cook for 8 minutes. If using 2 tortillas just make sure to spread them out and do not overcrowd the bin. You will need to shake the air fryer tray about halfway through and possibly spray with the cooking spray to make them extra crisp while air frying.
  8. Air fry on 375 for about 8 minutes.
  9. Prepare your fruit and nuts by chopping them into bite sized pieces.
  10. Once the tortilla chips have finished baking, arrange them onto your serving plate.

Notes

  • Use the cooking spray to spray the tortilla after the butter has been applied to use in the air fryer to make sure they crisp up
