Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 4 tablespoons Caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoons Chili powder (optional for heat)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Brush both sides of the flour tortillas with the melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the tortillas.
Cut each tortilla into 6 triangular wedges and arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the tortilla chips for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
If adding spice, mix the caramel sauce with the chili powder to create a subtle kick. Warm the sauce lightly in the microwave or on the stovetop.
To assemble the sundaes, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream into each serving bowl.
Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the ice cream, then sprinkle with dark chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using).
Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each sundae.
Garnish the sundaes with the homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips, either as a topping or on the side for scooping.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tex Mex-inspired sweet treat!
