A friend of mine was telling me how she really enjoyed these sweet tortilla crisps at her sister’s BBQ. The originals are coated in butter then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and baked. I was thinking about how I could make these without the butter while also enhancing it a little and here is what I came up with. I had my friend try these to make sure they passed the “delicious” test and she said they made the grade. If you prefer, you can omit the ice cream and simply cut the tortillas, coat with cooking spray, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake too.
