My husband purchased freshly made tortillas from the HEB bakery. However, he mistakenly chose the butter version, and the butter flavor was too strong. The children disliked the smell and taste. So, I decided using them to make sweet cinnamon chips.

Sweet Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

Ingredients:

• 6 butter tortillas (palm-sized)

• 3 tbsp melted butter (or use coconut oil for a lighter taste)

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon until fully combined.

3. Brush the Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Brush both sides evenly with melted butter or coconut oil.

4. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over both sides of each tortilla, ensuring even coverage.

5. Cut into Wedges: Use a pizza roller to slice each tortilla into 6-8 wedges.

6. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

7. Cool and Serve: Let the chips cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy on their own or with dips like whipped cream, honey, or chocolate sauce.

I was stuck with a bunch of tortillas that nobody liked. So I went to ChatGPT:

My husband bought freshly made tortillas from HEB's bakery. The issue is, he accidentally bought the butter version, and the butter taste was overpowering. The children didn't like the smell and taste. So I thought, maybe I can use them for sweet cinnamon chips? Can you suggest a recipe? They are palm size in diameter.

And it provided a recipe:

Sweet cinnamon chips are a fantastic idea for repurposing buttery tortillas! Here's a simple recipe:

Sweet Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

Ingredients:

• 6 butter tortillas (palm-sized)

• 3 tbsp melted butter (or use coconut oil for a different flavor)

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cut Tortillas: Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut each tortilla into 6-8 wedges.

3. Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon until well combined.

4. Coat Tortillas: Lightly brush each tortilla wedge with melted butter or coconut oil. Sprinkle both sides with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

5. Bake: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

6. Cool & Serve: Let the chips cool for a few minutes. Serve as is, or pair with a dip like honey, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce for extra fun.

This method should mellow the butter flavor and create a sweet, crispy treat. Let me know how it goes!

I just wanted to suggest a less messy approach:

Perfect. Only different, I will first brush them and only then cut using pizza roller

And it responded:

Great adjustment! Brushing them whole before cutting will make the process quicker and ensure an even coating. Using a pizza roller is also super efficient for clean, straight cuts. Enjoy making those sweet cinnamon chips, and let me know how they turn out!
