Here is a great after school snack for the kids or a dish to bring to a fall party.  It is easy, quick, and DELICIOUS!!! My kids could not stop eating it.  If you wanted to add more to it, I think you could mimic sour cream by using greek yogurt and it would taste incredible. Hope you enjoy!

3. Heat your oven to 410 degrees.
4. Spread out your tortilla wedges on a greased baking sheet.

6. Brush each wedge with butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
