Baked Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips

Cinnamon tortilla chips are one of my favorite appetizers or snacks to serve with a bowl of fruit salsa. I use corn tortillas for homemade tortilla chips, but for these sweeter cinnamon chips it’s best with day old homemade flour tortillas.

Anything with cinnamon and sugar is a win in my book, so it’s no surprise that I love these delicious cinnamon sugar chips. The are buttery, flaky and easy to make with any leftover tortillas you have sitting in the fridge.

These are great to pair with dessert dips like cannoli dip or to make dessert nachos. Simply layer the leftovers on a plate, top with homemade ice cream or whipped cream, add fresh fruit and maybe even a drizzle of hot fudge, too. YUM!

Cinnamon Tortilla Chips Ingredients

To make baked cinnamon chips you only need four ingredients!

• Flour tortillas: I prefer to use the 8 inch taco sized flour tortillas.
• Butter: I prefer unsalted butter.
• Sugar: Granulated white sugar is best.
• Cinnamon: This is the perfect warm spice for these cinnamon tortilla chips.

How to Make Cinnamon Chips

Start by dipping the front and back of each tortilla in melted butter. Then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring that each side is well coated.

Use a pizza cutter to cut each tortilla in half and then cut each half into four pieces. Spread all the tortilla pieces out evenly on a baking sheet.

Bake at 350º F for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes on the pan. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. For the best crunchy chips, airflow is needed. Lay chips in a single layer for even baking.
• Double the recipe: When serving a crowd, use two baking sheet so the pan doesn’t become overcrowded.
• Air fryer: In the summer when it’s hot, you may want to skip the oven! Preheat air fryer to 350°F, spread chips inside and air fry for 12-15 minutes tossing a few times. Spread chips out to cool and as they cool they will turn crispy.
• Strips: Cut them into smaller homemade tortilla strips and decrease baking time.
• What to eat with cinnamon chips: I usually serve cinnamon tortilla chips with fruit salsa, but marshmallow and cream cheese fruit dip and toffee apple dip are options!

Storing

If you have any leftovers, I’d recommend placing them in a brown paper bag and storing at room temperature. The brown bag helps keep the chips crispy. They are best if eaten within 3 days of making.
