Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Recipe

Flour tortillas: Soft and pliable, these are the base of the recipe, providing a perfect canvas for the sweet topping.

Melted butter: Adds richness and helps the cinnamon sugar mixture adhere to the tortillas.

Sugar: Provides the sweetness that makes these tortillas a treat.

Cinnamon: Adds a warm, spicy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sugar.

To achieve an even coating of the cinnamon sugar mixture, try using a fine-mesh sieve to sprinkle it over the tortillas. This ensures a more uniform distribution and prevents clumps, enhancing both the flavor and texture of your Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas.

• Allow the cinnamon sugar tortillas to cool completely before storing. This helps prevent condensation, which can make them soggy.

• Place the cooled tortillas in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. If stacking them, consider placing a piece of parchment paper between each tortilla to prevent sticking.

• Store the container or bag in a cool, dry place at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to 2 days.

• For longer storage, you can freeze the tortillas. Lay them flat on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about an hour. This initial freezing step prevents them from sticking together.

• Once the tortillas are frozen, transfer them to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container. Label the bag with the date to keep track of freshness.

• When ready to enjoy, reheat the frozen tortillas by placing them in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are warmed through and crispy again.

• Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), place the tortillas on a baking sheet, and heat for about 5-7 minutes.

• Avoid microwaving the tortillas as this can make them chewy rather than crispy.

• If you notice any changes in texture or flavor, it's best to discard the tortillas and make a fresh batch.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and cover them with aluminum foil. Heat for about 5-7 minutes until they are warm and crispy.

• Use a toaster oven set to medium heat. Place the tortillas directly on the rack and toast for 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the tortillas in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until they are warm and slightly crispy.

• If you have a microwave, place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds. Note that this method may make them less crispy.

• For a quick and even reheating, use an air fryer. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and heat the tortillas for 2-3 minutes. This method keeps them crispy and delicious.
