Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier option, consider using coconut sugar instead of regular sugar. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla for extra flavor. If you're short on time, cut the tortillas into larger pieces for quicker baking, but ensure to monitor closely to prevent burning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat tortillas for this recipe?
Yes, whole wheat tortillas can be used as a healthier alternative. They will add a nuttier flavor, complementing the cinnamon well. Just be mindful that the baking time may vary slightly due to the different texture.
How can I make these snacks more festive?
To make these snacks more festive, consider adding colored sugar or drizzling melted chocolate over the top after baking. You could also serve them with a side of fruit salsa or pairing them with Wildberry Punch for a fun, vibrant presentation.
What should I do if my snacks are not crispy enough?
If your snacks are not crispy after baking, try increasing the baking time by a minute or two, keeping a close eye to avoid burning. Also, ensure that the wedges are spread out in a single layer without overlapping, allowing for even baking.
