Make it Monday – Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips with Nutella Dip

April 1, 2013 By 10 Comments

 

Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips with Nutella Dip

This is a fun one you can do with the kids!  It’s super easy :)

Ingredients Needed:

  • Tortillas (I use corn because they’re GF)
  • Cooking Spray
  • Flavoring (I used Cinnamon and Stevia)
  • Dip (I used Nutella)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Prepare your “chips”

I find it’s really fast and easy to cut mine with a pizza cutter.

Grease your cookie sheet and place your chips on it.

Lightly spray the chips and sprinkle your toppings.

Cook at 325 degrees for approximately 10 to 12 minutes.

Enjoy!

I dipped mine in Nutella :)

There are so many variations you can do on this too! You can make salt and vinegar, garlic and herb, the list goes on and dip it in hummus or any other dip. The munchkins love making these!

  • 6 slices Apple wood Bacon or you can use Turkey Bacon
  • 2 teaspoons of honey

Directions:

1. Turn Grill on High let heat for 5 minutes.

3. Wrap salmon tightly in the bacon adding tooth picks to hold it in place. (you are going to want to soak tooth picks in water for 5 to 10 minutes so that they don’t catch on fire)
4. Place Salmon on grill for 6 minutes (for thick pieces you may want to grill for longer)
5. For side you will want to slice cucumbers very thin (paper thin) I toss them in an Asian vinaigrette (check to make sure it is gluten free)

Serve salmon wraps and cucumber salad. What a great way to kick off a spring meal.
