Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Strips

I found this recipe in an old issue of Real Simple magazine. I might have skipped past it except for the sweet woman who cooks at our church. She sometimes makes these for Wednesday night dinners. They are just wonderful.

This isn't her recipe. I've never asked for it. Some treats are just that: treats. But I couldn't resist sharing this just for the fun of it.

Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla Strips

1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
4 burrito-size flour tortillas
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Dividing evenly, brush tortillas on both sides with oil and sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Cut into 1-inch strips and arrange in a single layer on two baking sheets.

Bake, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely. 

Strips can be made, cooled, and stored in an airtight container up to four days ahead.
