Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas (6-inch size)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Whipped cream or desired filling (e.g., fresh fruit, pudding, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a 6-cup muffin tin, invert the tin so the cups are facing down. Lightly grease the outer surface of the exposed cups to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of each tortilla with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on both sides of the buttered tortillas, ensuring they are well-coated.
Gently press each tortilla over the inverted muffin tin cups, shaping the tortillas into a bowl or cup form.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortilla cups are golden-brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the tortilla cups cool for 5 minutes before gently lifting them off the tin.
Once cooled completely, fill each tortilla cup with your desired filling, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or pudding.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty tortilla dessert cups!
