Forget the nachos you know and make way for this cinnamony sweet creation featuring ENLIGHTENED French Toast ice cream! We chose to make Dessert Nachos to celebrate Cinco de Mayo not only as an excuse to eat more ice cream but, as our Creative Director pointed out, tortillas are the base of Mexican cuisine and the perfect (if unexpected) complement to a scoop of ice cream!

 

These Dessert Nachos have a base of cinnamon sugar baked tortilla chips. Crispy, crunchy, and deliciously sweet, after tasting these we couldn’t help but wonder why we’d never tried tortilla chips like this before.

 

We topped these bites of cinnamon sugary deliciousness with a scoop of French Toast ice cream. The cinnamon sweetness of the ice cream paired perfectly with the baked tortilla chips, and we couldn’t resist some cinnamon on cinnamon action for our Dessert Nachos!
