Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas and Base:
- 6 flour tortillas (small, fajita-size)
- 3 tablespoons (44 ml) butter, melted
Sweeteners and Spices:
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) cinnamon
Toppings and Garnishes:
- ½ cup (85 grams) chocolate chips, melted
- ¼ cup (60 ml) caramel sauce
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup (75 grams) banana slices
- ½ cup (75 grams) blueberries
- ¼ cup (30 grams) chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- ½ cup (120 ml) whipped cream
- ¼ cup (30 grams) mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a toasty 375F (190C), preparing for a delightful dessert transformation.
- Generously coat each tortilla surface with melted butter, ensuring complete coverage for a golden, crispy finish.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing vessel, creating a sweet and aromatic blend.
- Liberally dust the butter-coated tortillas with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, allowing the spices to infuse every inch.
- Slice each tortilla into precise triangular segments, mimicking the classic nacho shape and size.
- Arrange the seasoned tortilla triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet, preventing overcrowding to ensure even crisping.
- Transfer the prepared sheet to the preheated oven and bake until the edges turn a delicate golden brown and the texture becomes wonderfully crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the dessert nachos cool slightly, allowing the sugar to crystallize and create a delectable crunch.
- Serve immediately as a delightful sweet treat, perfect for sharing or indulging solo.
Notes
- Opt for whole wheat tortillas to boost nutritional value and add a nutty undertone to the dessert.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a more natural caramelization effect when brushing tortillas.
- Use a pizza cutter for precise, uniform triangles that crisp up evenly and look professionally prepared.
- Allow baked tortilla chips to cool completely on a wire rack to maintain maximum crunchiness and prevent sogginess.
