# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not greasy like deep-fried versions.
  • You can have homemade dessert snacks ready in under 20 minutes with zero complicated technique.
  • The cinnamon sugar balance tastes indulgent without being cloyingly sweet.
02 -
  • Don't skip the flipping step halfway through, or you'll end up with burnt bottoms and pale tops.
  • If your tortillas are thick or extra large, add a minute or two to the cooking time and keep an eye on them so they don't scorch.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter instead of a knife if you have one; it cuts faster and cleaner and makes the whole project feel less tedious.
  • Brush the butter on while the tortillas are stacked so you coat all sides evenly without wasting extra butter.
