A Slacker’s Solution
Don’t have the time or energy to make these chips from scratch? No problem! Simply toss 7 ounces of store-bought corn tortilla chips with 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Spread them out on a baking sheet, warm them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, and serve.
Making It from Scratch
If you’re feeling ambitious, making these chips from scratch is a breeze. Simply combine 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Then, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Fry the tortilla wedges in batches until they’re golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve.
