Ingredients:
Homemade Cinnamon-sugar Tortilla Chips
- 8 small flour tortillas (6 inch diameter)
- 3 Tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Fresh Whipped Cream
-
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream (no substitutions)
-
1 Tablespoon (15g) granulated sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (77g) diced strawberries
- 1/2 cup (75g) blueberries
Chocolate Sauce - Personal Preference
Directions:
For the homemade tortilla chips:
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Cut the tortillas into 8 even triangles.
- Place in a large mixing bowl. Pour melted butter over top and toss with a large wooden spoon until each triangle is fairly coated. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Add 3/4 of the mixture to the bowl and toss the triangles to coat.
- Line the triangles onto baking sheets in an even layer.
- Bake in batches for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Feel free to sprinkle a little more cinnamon-sugar on top of the finished chips if desired.
- Reserve the rest of the cinnamon-sugar for garnish.
For the fresh whipped cream:
- Place cream and sugar in a small mixing bowl and beat on high for 1-2 minutes using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment.
- Add the vanilla and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes or until soft peaks form.
- Don't whip too much or you will end up with curdled-looking whipped cream.
- Chill until ready to use in recipe.
For the nachos:
- Pile the tortilla chips onto 2 separate plates.
- Top with the fruit, then drizzle with chocolate sauce.
- If the chocolate sauce won't pour easily, try warming it in the microwave for 15 seconds, then stir and pour.
- Top the nachos with whipped cream and a sprinkle of leftover cinnamon-sugar.
- Enjoy immediately.
Additional topping suggestions: try adding sliced banana, chopped apple, a drizzle of salted caramel sauce, toasted pecans, toasted coconut, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, or a drizzle of melted peanut butter.
