Praline Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon chili powder

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste

½ cup canola oil

1 (8 ounce) package flour tortillas, cut into 2-inch squares

Stir sugar, cinnamon, chili powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl until thoroughly combined.

Pour canola oil into a separate bowl.

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven s broiler.

Dip tortilla squares into canola oil on both sides and press into the seasoned sugar mixture; arrange coated chips on baking sheets.

Broil chips until sugar bubbles and chips are crisp, about 2 minutes; watch carefully to prevent burning. Turn the chips over and broil other sides until browned, another 2 minutes. Let cool before serving.
