  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut each tortilla into 8 strips.
3. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and place tortilla strips on baking sheet.
4. Spray tortilla strips lightly with cooking spray.
5. Combine sugar and cinnamon in small mixing bowl and sprinkle lightly on tortilla strips.
6. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until lightly brown.


Helpful Hints:

A good way to add more whole grains in our diet is to use whole wheat tortillas for this recipe. When cutting tortillas into strips, try using a pizza wheel or kitchen scissors instead of a knife. To sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar mixture, combine ingredients in an empty, clean spice container or salt shaker to make the job easier for young cooks.

Safety Tip:

This is an easy recipe to prepare, but young children need adult supervision when taking the baking sheet from the oven. Use a dry hot pad and have a spot on the countertop ready to set the hot baking sheet.
