Cinnamon Pita Chips

On Thursday night my roommates and I decided to have a Mexican-themed dinner party. For dinner we had tacos, chicken enchiladas, and rice and beans.  I decided to make dessert, and I wanted it to be something sweet and easy to eat!  Using some whole wheat tortillas, I tried my hand at making some cinnamon sugar chips.  They came out really well.  When eaten hot, they reminded Christie of churros.  Today, when I was snacking on some at room temperature (I had to make another batch – couldn’t resist), they reminded me of graham crackers. Either way – I’d say it was a success!

 
 
You will need:
– whole wheat tortillas (this cookie sheet contained 2 tortillas-worth)
– cinnamon 
– granulated sugar
– 3 tablespoons butter (approx)
 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).  Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut your tortillas into triangles.  Melt butter in a bowl (one minute in the microwave should do the trick).  On a plate, mix enough cinnamon and sugar together to make your coating.  
Dip each tortilla triangle in butter, then transfer to the cinnamon-sugar plate.  Coat both sides of the tortilla in the cinnamon-sugar.  This gets messy!  Make sure you have some paper towels handy.  Arrange the tortillas on a non-stick baking pan.
Bake the tortillas for six minutes.  After six minutes, flip the tortillas and bake for another six minutes.  After this, I sprinkled the almost-crispy chips with a little more cinnamon and sugar – then they went back in the oven for another six minutes on each side.  
Be careful handling the hot tray!  You can serve them immediately, or place them in a Tupperware container to munch on later.

Hope everyone’s enjoying their weekend!  It’s getting chilly up here at school.  I’m looking forward to sweater weather and lots of good, hot food.
