Ingredients

  • 5 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 stick salted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon, see my favorite ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup each, mixed berries. I used strawberries, cut into small pieces, whole blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • whipped cream for topping, I used aerosol

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

    Next, melt your butter. You can do so in the microwave or you can melt it in a small saucepan on the stovetop.

    In another small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.

    Brush the tortillas with the melted butter on one side, then sprinkle 1-2 Tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar on top of each. Shake off the extra.

    Use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the tortilla into 6 pieces. Put the tortilla chip pieces onto the lined baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes. They may still feel a little soft when you take them out of the oven, but they will harden as they cool.

    Once the chips have cooled, arrange them onto plates. Add your mixed berries, almonds, and whipped cream. Serve and enjoy!
