Ingredients
- 5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 12 flour tortillas
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F, rack in the middle position.
-
Place the cinnamon in a shallow bowl on the counter that is an inch or so larger than the size of the tortillas.
-
Add the white sugar to the bowl with the cinnamon and mix them together with a fork.
-
Place the cup of salted butter in a second shallow bowl that is microwave-safe.
-
Heat the butter on HIGH in the microwave for 30 seconds. Check to see if your butter is melted. If it is, take the bowl out of the microwave. If it isn’t heat it for another 15 seconds on HIGH.
-
When the butter is melted, take the bowl out of the microwave and set it on your kitchen counter next to the bowl with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. (Be careful. The bowl with the melted butter could be hot.)
-
Move the prepared pan next to the bowls for easy access.
-
Using your impeccably clean fingers or tongs, dip a flour tortilla into the bowl with the melted butter. Be sure to coat both sides of the tortilla.
-
Take the tortilla out of the butter bowl and dip it in the bowl with the cinnamon and sugar. Again, be sure to coat both sides with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
-
With your impeccably clean, press the center of your buttered and coated tortilla into one of the muffin cups.
-
Then press the sides of the tortilla against the side of the muffin cup. (You may have to overlap the sides of the tortilla together to get a good fit.)
-
Repeat the above steps with the remaining 11 flour tortillas.
-
Bake your Sweet Tortilla Cups at 350°F for 13 to 15 minutes or until they are a nice golden brown.
-
Take the muffin tin out of the oven and set it on a cold stove burner for 10 to 15 minutes or until the muffin tin and its contents are cool to the touch.
-
Flip the muffin tin over on a wire rack. The Sweet Tortilla Cups should tip right out. Since they’re now upside down on the rack, flip them over, place them on a platter, and fill them with a scoop of ice cream drizzled with syrup, or fruit pieces topped with sweetened, whipped cream.
