Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Lightly coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Stack tortillas and cut into 8 wedges.
- Arrange wedges in a single layer on prepared cookie sheets.
- Lightly spray the tops of the wedges with cooking spray.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until golden and crisp. Slide onto wire racks to cool.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small pan over low heat.

- Working with about 12 wedges at a time, place them on a wire rack; drizzle with melted chocolate and caramel.
- Remove to waxed paper to harden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, ensure the tortillas are spaced well on the baking sheets. If you prefer a different flavor, you can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate. If caramels are hard to find, you can use homemade caramel sauce or even butterscotch chips for a twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful treats as a dessert or snack, and they pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a refreshing contrast, consider serving alongside a light Fruit And Honey Spinach Salad. Drizzle extra chocolate or caramel on top for added indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover chocolate-caramel tortillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until warmed through and slightly crisp again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these tortillas ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the tortillas and bake them in advance. Store them in an airtight container until you're ready to drizzle the melted chocolate and caramel. This way, you can enjoy them fresh without the hassle when guests arrive.
What can I use instead of flour tortillas?
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, you can use corn tortillas. They will have a different texture but will still be delicious with the chocolate and caramel toppings. Just make sure to adjust the baking time as needed.
How can I make these vegan?
To make the recipe vegan, you can use vegan chocolate chips and substitute the caramels with a homemade vegan caramel sauce made from coconut milk and brown sugar. This will keep the delicious flavors while adhering to vegan recipes.
