Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Alexis Clark

    First, make your cinnamon sugar tortilla cups. Preheat your oven to 350°F and melt 6 tablespoons of butter. Lay out one tortilla and brush both sides with melted butter. Then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over one side. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.

  2. Alexis Clark

    Once all tortillas are covered in butter and cinnamon sugar, cut off rounded sides to make one big square. Then cut into four smaller squares. Transfer to muffin tin for baking.

    #SpoonTip: If the tortillas are popping out, shot glasses work well to hold them down.

  3. Alexis Clark

    Bake tortillas for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Make sure to check every few minutes to make sure the corners don’t burn.

    Next make the boozy whipped cream. First, beat the cream and sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Then, beat in whiskey until cream holds peaks.
