Quick and easy Baked Cinnamon Chips are made by brushing flour tortillas with melted butter, sprinkling with cinnamon-sugar, and baking until light and crisp. They make a delicious snack on their own, or try topping them with some vanilla ice cream and buttermilk caramel sauce or hot fudge. They are also delicious dipped in fruit dip or straight into whipped cream. Two of our favorite uses are to build a plate of decadent Strawberry-Chocolate Nachos or dip in Fruit Salsa!

How to Make Baked Cinnamon Chips:
Simply lay out your tortillas and brush each one with melted butter and sprinkle with a little cinnamon-sugar and then cut into wedges. I’ve provided measurements and quantities in the recipe, but you can absolutely eyeball literally everything here. I never measure anything when I make these. Simply brush and sprinkle!
Lay them on a baking sheet (I line mine with parchment or foil for easy clean up) and then bake them in the oven. Different brands and sizes of tortillas might take varying amounts of time but it’s usually about 10 minutes or so. Just keep an eye on them and take them out when they turn golden on the edges.
When they’re done and cooled completely they’ll be light and crisp and oh so delicious. These are yummy, addicting little things. You can use them for all kinds of things- try making nachos by topping them with some vanilla ice cream and buttermilk caramel sauce or hot fudge. Or dip them in fruit dip or straight into whipped cream. Or just snack on them plain- they make a great after school snack. My toddler loves making these with me!
Try them with our Sweet Fruit Salsa, or in Strawberry Chocolate Nachos!

Happy birthday!
Home made cinnamon chips sound really good!
I was going to look up a recipe to make this to go along with a fruit salsa recipe that I love. Thanks, you saved me the trouble.
Oh good one! I make these for the kids sometimes. The other fun thing to do like this is pie crust. I bake it with some butter spread on it and cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on it. So yummy and makes the house smell amazing. Then we just break it up and fight over it!
Try it… your little one will love it.
We are birthday buddies! In age even! I feel you on the birthday food coma. Mine was doughnuts at work followed by homemade caramels and dinner at Goodwood. I’ve been following your blog for a while and love your recipes.
