Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
These cinnamon sugar tortilla chips turn a few tortillas into a crisp, buttery snack. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake until golden.
Serve with yogurt peanut butter dip or a little dulce de leche.
Cut the wedges to a similar size and arrange in one layer so they bake evenly. They become crisper as they cool, so give them a few minutes before serving.

Shahida's Tips & Tricks
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife for even pieces.
- Brush the butter evenly so the coating sticks across each wedge.
- Avoid overlapping pieces on the tray.
- Start checking at 8 minutes; tortilla thickness affects baking time.
- Cool before sealing in a container so steam does not soften the chips.
How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
Serve as a crunchy snack with chocolate sauce or fruit salsa. For a dessert platter, add fresh fruit and yogurt peanut butter dip.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Why are my chips still soft?
They may need a little more baking or cooling time. Keep them in one layer and let them cool on a rack before judging the texture.
Why did some pieces burn?
Small or thin pieces brown faster. Cut evenly and check early, especially at the edges of the tray.
How do I store leftovers?
Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Keep away from moisture to preserve their crunch.
