Ingredients
Scale
- 6 flour tortillas (small, fajita-size)
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup (75 grams) banana slices
- ½ cup (75 grams) blueberries
- ½ cup (120 ml) whipped cream
- ½ cup (85 grams) chocolate chips, melted
- ¼ cup (60 ml) caramel sauce
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (30 grams) chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- ¼ cup (30 grams) mini marshmallows
- 3 tbsps (44 ml) butter, melted
- 1 tsp (5 grams) cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Warm the oven to 375F (190C), creating an ideal environment for transforming tortillas into crispy delights.
- Prepare Tortillas: Brush each tortilla thoroughly with melted butter, ensuring complete and even coverage for a golden exterior.
- Create Coating: Blend granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl, crafting a fragrant and sweet seasoning mixture.
- Season Tortillas: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar blend across buttered tortillas, allowing the spices to penetrate every surface.
- Shape and Arrange: Slice tortillas into uniform triangular pieces and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet, maintaining space between each piece to promote optimal crispness.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until triangles turn a rich golden brown and achieve a satisfying crunch, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let nachos rest briefly, allowing the sugar to set and develop a delicate crystalline texture, then serve immediately as an irresistible sweet snack.
Notes
- Butter Distribution Strategy: Ensure complete and even butter coverage on tortillas for consistent golden-brown crispiness and uniform flavor absorption.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Ratio Balance: Mix sugar and cinnamon thoroughly to create a perfect sweet-spicy blend that enhances the tortilla’s taste without overwhelming the dessert.
- Spacing Technique: Arrange tortilla triangles in a single layer with minimal overlap to guarantee each piece becomes crisp and avoids soggy textures.
- Cooling Critical Point: Allow dessert nachos to rest briefly after baking, permitting sugar to crystallize and develop a satisfying crunch that elevates the overall eating experience.
