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.

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!

Just made these. I was also one who skimmed over recipe and thought I knew what I was doing. Lol. Wrong. Mixed butter and cinnamon and sugar together and put in plastic bag to mix. Oh well. But I DID put on cooling racks to bake and then cool. (By comments some didn’t). Baked 8 minutes. Great.

DO NOT MAKE THESE, they look delicious in the picture, but the cook time is wrong, and even if you do cook them right, they taste disgusting, do not recommend.
Danielle Green says
Hi Sydney, can you be more specific about the disgusting taste? It’s just cinnamon, sugar and butter for flavors, so was it over or under cooked causing the bad taste? All ovens and altitudes cook a little bit different, so that is why I provided a cooking time range.

Delicious! I didn’t use a rack and they still turned out great. I had left over cream cheese frosting to go on them. Heaven!

Loved these! Made with flour tortillas that I had left over from a few nights before…they are fabulous and look great – perhaps not pristine like made in a restaurant but beautiful and really good…..did 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Perfect! Thanks!

Made this tonight with sugar and brown sugar since I didn’t have cinnamon and they came out good! I need to leave them in longer and do NOT use tin foil. It stuck horribly to it and I had to peel every individual piece off. I wish I could have gone out and quickly picked up cookie sheets.

I don’t have cooling racks. 🙁
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.
