Cinnamon-Sugar Chips




Active: 30 mins

Makes: 80 chips


INGREDIENTS

* 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 2 cups vegetable oil
* 10 (8-inch) flour tortillas, each cut into 8 wedges


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Heat oil in a large frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking or 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.


3. Once oil is hot, add a handful of tortilla wedges, being careful not to crowd them, and fry until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove chips with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with generous amounts of cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining tortillas. (Check the oil temperature in between batches and adjust heat accordingly.) Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over chips and serve.
