Dessert Nachos 600

Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Flour tortillas
  • Cinnamon sugar
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Nacho toppings of choice (sliced strawberries and bananas, pineapple bits, blueberries, shredded coconut, nuts, caramel or chocolate sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, etc.)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter. Brush butter over tops of tortillas. Then sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the buttered tortillas.
  2. Use a pizza cutter to cut each tortilla into nacho-chip-size pieces.
  3. Transfer chips to a baking sheet, sugar side up.
  4. Bake about 10 minutes until chips are browned and crispy. Let cool.
  5. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream onto a plate and surround it with the baked chips. Add your choice of toppings.
Tip: A 6-inch tortilla makes about 8 baked chips, so plan accordingly. You’ll probably want to use several tortillas to make enough for the dessert and for taste-testing!
