Baked Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
These Baked Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips are a buttery, flaky, sweet treat perfection! Whether you are whipping up a batch of dessert nachos, looking for something to scoop up a fresh fruit salsa with, or enjoy snacking on them alone, they are a wonderfully delicious dessert made from scratch in your oven. They make a big batch, perfect for sharing or bringing to a party!
Don’t let the fact that these are ‘baked’ fool you into thinking they are in any way healthy. Sorry, but that’s not what’s up with these bad boys. These flour tortillas are generously coated in melted butter and tossed in cinnamon sugar before baking. You know…all of the things that make them extra wonderful! 😉
The beauty of these Baked Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips are that they are made in the oven with easy cleanup. There is no need to whip out the messy deep fryer or heat up splattering oil on the stove top. Simply add the cut tortillas to the melted butter in a large bow. Put the lid on the bowl and shake vigorously until they are well coated. Add the cinnamon and sugar mixture and do the same thing.
After you make sure they are all well coated, arrange the tortillas on a cooling rack over a lined cookie sheet. Bake them off in the oven and you have homemade dessert chips ready in no time!
Baked Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. butter
- 8 10 inch flour tortillas
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment or tin foil and top with cooling racks.
- In a large bowl that has a lid, microwave the butter for 1-2 minutes, or until completely melted.
- Cut the stack of tortillas into 12 wedges each. Add the tortilla wedges to the bowl of melted butter. Place the lid firmly on the bowl and shake vigorously until the tortillas are evenly coated.
- In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar. Toss the mixture over the buttered tortillas. Place the lid back on the bowl and shake well. Separate any tortillas stuck together and re-shake to ensure they are all coated well.
- Arrange the tortillas over the cooling racks and bake at 400° for 8-12 minutes until lightly golden. Some of the chips may still appear soft, but upon cooling they will crisp up.
- Allow to cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

All you people who burnt things really need to learn to bake. Times and tempts vary depending on oven. These were beyond yummy and I even pleased an uber pick 12 year old with them.

I tried it. I’ll never try it again. The sugar looked so bad on them. I was hoping they tasted like they did in restaurants but I was wrong. They are so hard!! FINE A DIFFERENT RECIPE

These do not burn before 15 minutes. They come out perfect every time I make them.
Danielle Green says

Quinn says
These went awful . Don’t use tin foil it sticks. Also it says to bake for 15 minutes. It burnt every chip. It was already burning at 10 for me. Horrible instructions
Aundrea J Klein says
These were amazing and to everyone commenting on 15 bake time the recipe says between 8-12 and what this tells me is that the individual has problems reading not in the recipe itself also to anyone saying this person wasted their groceries ummm wasn’t it your choice to try this? Your decision to try no one made you!! Quite frankly when done correctly these are awesome and I don’t even care for cinnamon all that much!
S Dillon says
400 degrees for 15 mins? After only 8 minutes they were burned black and everything had to be tossed in the trash. Thank you for wasting my groceries with your untested instructions.

Recommend doing less cinnamon and DONT PUT IT IN 15 MINUTES. BAKES FOR WAY TOO LONG!
Scarlet Fortune says
I followed this recipe exactly. Use a different recipe, y’all. 2 stars.
Autumn says
when I put mine in the oven I had to take them out at 8 minutes because they were burnt and it made some kind of crystallized sugar stiff around the tortilla do not recommend.

I definitely think more sugar is needed or less cinnamon. After costing the tortillas they were almost black from the cinnamon. I thought it would be ok after baking but that was definitely not the case at all. Also maybe cut back on the cooking time. 15 minutes was way too long and the tortillas were overcooked. I would give this recipe 3 stars.
Joe Dirt says
The recipe says 8-12 minutes
Homechef says
To all commenters and readers. Seriously? I may be mistaken but when i read a recipe, i read the entire thing first. Then i think about the stuff i have and the kind of oven i have. I didnt read anywhere that it was 15min. But don’t follow the recipe exactly! You make it what u want to make. I say recipes are guidelines to your own cooking experience.l!! My oven is primarily hot so i used 375 for 9 min and they were perfect. I mix my own cinnamon sugar. They were gone in 15 minutes!! lol Don’t fault the recipe, fault yourself for not using ur creativity..:)
