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.

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.
William says
We made these tonight with left over homemade chips and used coconut oil instead of butter. Amazing!

Im sitting here in complete disgust over just how any human being can take the time to comment anything negative at all to someone simply sharing a recipe. You don’t have to like it! But who the hell raised you?! More so how childish do you have to become to.be such assholes??! Did it make you feel better after posting? “Yesss I was just such a jerk to this woman about her recipe, at last I can sleep!”
Ugh, you are seriously what is wrong with our world today. Smh.

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..:)

Before baking I popped them on to a cookie cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet to allow air circulation and they all came out awesone. If you have ever used an oven as a dehydrator you will know to let out some steam on occasion. And just keep checking them… all ovens are different…dont be lazy.

Made these today—followed the recipe, but cooked at 375 for 12 minutes. They turned out great! They do not look like pristine restaurant-style cinnamon sugar chips, but nothing I make in my tiny kitchen looks pristine! And more importantly they taste great! My only suggestion is that some of the chips ended up more chewy than others, and I would love to figure out how to avoid that in the future…but this recipe is by no means a failure!
Danielle Green says
Haha, taste over looks every day! 😉 Sometimes when I make these, I pop the chewy ones back in the oven for a couple more minutes to crisp them up. Sorry, I will add that note to the recipe!

These are good, but the measurements are off, which is why I only gave it a 2 star rating. As you can see the amount of tortillas you need are 8 10 inch ones. I had 4 in a package so I cut the measurements in half. However, I ended up melting more butter and making more cinnamon and sugar at least 4 times and I still had more tortillas left. I ended up throwing away the last few pieces because I ran out of butter (I used a whole stick, which is 1/2 cup, when I should have used 1/4 for half the amount I had.
Danielle Green says
I just made these again today and 1/2 cup of butter was almost too much for my 8 tortillas, so I’m not sure what went wrong. They just need a very thin coating of butter.

Wish I would have read the comments before I made these. Completely burnt. Why do people give them 5 star ratings when the recipe “sounds” good. Don’t rate unless you’ve made them!
