Health and fertility benefits of Churro Nachos

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

4 medium-sized flour tortillas
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. cinnamon
1 c. heavy cream
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. strawberries, chopped
1 13-16 oz jar dulce de leche

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut tortillas into quarters. Then cut the quarters in half to make smaller slices. Place the tortilla wedges on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Mix together the cinnamon sugar until evenly combined.
Brush the tortillas with melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the cinnamon-sugar is melted and the chips are nice and crispy.
Meanwhile make the whipped cream. Combine the heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Load the cinnamon-sugar onto a plate. Dollop whipped cream on top. Drizzle with dulce de leche and sprinkle the chopped strawberries on top.
