We Love Chips and Salsa!
We eat a ton of Tortilla Chips and salsa at our house so it’s only natural we create a dessert version!
We’ve been making these cinnamon tortilla chips every since we were kids because they are delicious, especially when paired with our fresh Strawberry Salsa.
Why we love it:
- SO quick. Make this tasty treat in less than 15 minutes. It’s the most simple recipe in the world – your kids can even help!
- Dippable. Serve with sweet dips, Vanilla Buttercream Frosting or Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, or your favorite Fruit Salsa!
- Waste not. These sweet chips are a perfect way to use up leftover Flour Tortillas.
- For every occasion. Enjoy as a sweet appetizer, an afternoon snack, or a sugary ending to your Cinco de Mayo fiesta or family dinner!
What better way to end our Mexican dinners than with a Mexican dessert?
Only 4 Ingredients
- flour tortillas – I used 10-inch tortillas but you can use a smaller size for smaller chips. Use store-bought or Homemade Tortillas.
- butter – unsalted or salted, whatever you have on hand.
- sugar
- cinnamon – for a fun twist add in some nutmeg or use a pumpkin pie spice.
How to make Cinnamon Tortilla Chips
- PREP. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- SEASON. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Brush Flour Tortillas with butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- BAKE. Cut each tortilla into wedges. Place on an ungreased sheet pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until crisp. Serve with Fruit Salsa.
Air Fryer Directions
Prepare the tortillas as instructed in the recipe. Place a batch of tortilla chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Fry at 360°F for 3-4 minutes. Shake the basket a bit and air fry for another 3-4 minutes. (Since they are brushed with butter you do not need to use cooking spray.)
Recipe Tips
- 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 Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, dollops of Whipped Cream, and drizzle with Chocolate Syrup and Caramel Sauce.
- Serving suggestions. There are loads of dips that go great with this cinnamon chips recipe, some favorites include Strawberry Salsa, Pineapple Salsa, Mango Salsa, Snickers Dip, Nutella Dip, or Fruit Dip.
STORING Tips
- STORE. Keep cinnamon chips in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. If they soften, stick them back in the oven to crisp them up again.
- FREEZE. Place cooled chips in a freezer Ziploc, and freeze for up to 3 months. Crisp in the oven for a few minutes.
