Try this creative snack made with tortillas.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Flour Tortillas
  • Oil

Preparation:

Using the same technique as cutting out paper snowflakes, make snowflake shapes out of flour tortillas, you may need to warm the tortilla in the microwave first to make it more flexible. Put a touch of oil in a pan and fry tortilla until it is crisp. Top with one or more of these ideas:

  • Sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
  • Spread butter on one side of the tortilla.
  • Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and sugar.
  • Use bologna, turkey, ham, cheese, etc. and make a snowflake sandwich.

tortilla snowflakes, Member tnp68962

as a preschool teacher, this is one of the neatest crafts i've seen using food. when i saw it, i thought,'why didn't i think of that?' now that we have it in our craft folder, we will make it every year. (even my 10 year old daughter had fun with this one!!) thank you so much! again your site amazed me! sincerely, tnp68962
