3 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

tortilla wedge in the bottom of a muffin cup, shaping sides to fit
cup. Place a second tortilla wedge in muffin cup, allowing bottom
and sides to overlap. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until
crisp and lightly browned. Cool completely in pan.
Meanwhile, for filling, beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until
smooth. In another bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes
or until thickened. beat in cream cheese on low until smooth. Fold
in whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Carefully
remove cups from pan. Pipe or spoon about 3 tablespoons filling
into each cup. Drizzle or pipe with melted chocolate. Refrigerate
for 5 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in the refrigerator.
