Sweet Cinnamon Strips

I invented this simple recipe the other day when I just had to have something sweet after dinner. It's so easy and quick, you could even make it for a snack or to throw in your lunch. Here's an idea: make these as a delicious add-on to a little bowl of vanilla soy ice cream. Yum! By the way, I like using brown rice tortillas for this purpose, as they are light, sweet and when they bake they become crispy and slightly flaky.
Ingredients:
* 1 brown rice tortilla
* 2 tablespoons Earth Balance margarine, melted
* 1 1/2 tablespoons sucanat or other brown sugar
* 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cut the tortilla into 2 inch strips. Lay the tortilla strips on a baking sheet. Mix the melted margarine with the cinnamon and sugar. Spread the sugar mixture onto the tortilla strips, being careful not to get too much onto the baking sheet. Bake for about 5-6 minutes at 350 degrees F, until the strips are crisp and the sugar is bubbly. Keep a close eye on them, as the sugar will burn easily. Cool at room temp for a minute or so until eating or sticking into your ice cream. As a variation, you can cut the tortilla into fun shapes with a cookie cutter and follow the recipe as usual. Enjoy!
