On Saturday, I went to the grocery store to pick up some
lettuce for our dinner. But, as you know, it is almost impossible to go into
the grocery store and walk out with only one item. I made it out with three. We
were planning to have taco salad for dinner, but when I saw freshly made
tortillas, I had to buy some. They were still warm in the package and very
tasty!
But, what do you do with just a couple of leftover
tortillas? They can be frozen, but since I am on a mission to clean out my freezer, I decided to make Cinnamon Tortilla Chips instead. We ate them
yesterday sitting on the front porch after school.
Cinnamon Tortilla
Chips
4 flour tortillas
Olive oil spray
Cinnamon/sugar
Cut tortillas into triangles. I like to stack them and then
cut them into six pieces with a pizza cutter. Arrange on a cookie sheet, being sure not to
overlap. Spray with olive oil spray (I use a refillable kitchen spritzer). Then
sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake at 425˚ for 10-12 or until browned
and crispy. These can burn quickly, so watch them carefully. Remove from cookie
sheet, and serve immediately. Store the leftover
chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Frugal Tip: Don't let leftover flour tortillas go to waste. Try these Cinnamon Tortilla
Chips for a simple after school snack.

Believe it or not I have been craving these and have tortillas ready to be used for just this purpose!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I make these, I wonder why I don't make the more often!
