How to make Cinnamon Chips

Get ready for your house to smell amazing when these cinnamon chips go in the oven. I love the smell of melted butter cooking with cinnamon and sugar. YUM!

PREP. Preheat oven to 350°F.

SEASON. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Brush Flour Tortillas with butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

CUT. Cut each tortilla into eight wedges. Then cut off the tip and cut 3 more triangles from the top of the tortilla. Place on an ungreased sheet pan. 

BAKE. Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until crisp. Serve with fruit salsa.

Recipe Tips

Change these cinnamon sugar tortilla chips up or whip up a delicious dip for serving!

Corn tortillas. Brush the corn tortillas with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Corn tortillas are more delicate and will cook faster so reduce the baking time. 

Make dessert nachos. Add a layer of homemade cinnamon chips to a platter. Top with fruit and small scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream, dollops of Whipped Cream, and drizzle with Chocolate and Caramel Sauce.

Serving suggestions

There are loads of dips that go great with this cinnamon chips recipe and although we prefer the fruit salsas, these other dips work well too:

Fruit salsa and cinnamon chips are one of my favorite combinations. I know it sounds a little different, but you’ll have to give it a try and tell me what you think!

STORING Tips

STORE. Keep cinnamon chips in an airtight container at room temperature. Make sure it’s airtight so they hold the crunch and don’t get stale.

If they are stored properly, they should last for a few days. If they soften, just stick them back in the oven to crisp them up again.

FREEZE. Allow the chips to cool, put leftovers in a freezer Ziploc, and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Crisp them back up by placing them in the oven for a few minutes.

You absolutely can freeze the tortilla chips to eat later. Place the cooled cinnamon chips into a freezer Ziploc and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Crisp them back up by placing them in the oven for a few minutes.
