Comments

Just made these as a dessert with my younger sister (she's 10 and LOVES elephant ears from the fair). She says that they "taste just like them"! 

The easiest way to use the melted butter was to melt it in a pan, move it to another burner to cool off, and then use a rubber brush to go over the tortilla pieces while standing at the stove and the pieces are laid out on the pan.

We had to make 2 batches due to limited oven space, so we tried out the different times: after8 minutes tasted like a warm pastry, and after 12 minutes they tasted more chip-like! 

These turn out so great every time and the best thing with these is any of food hero salsa's taste great with the home made chips. Try some today with one of food hero fruit salsa's.
