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!
Questions & Reviews
I make these all the time, but instead of brushing with butter, I just brush with water. Makes super low-fat chips that I serve with strawberry salsa in the summer.
These are so good! I couldn't stop eatting them!
I made these last night to go along with ice cream. I was trying to replicate an old favorite bluebell ice cream, it turned out to be perfect! So simple, yet so delicious, also gives me a way to use up old tortillas. thanks! 🙂
Sara,
You are wonderful. Thank you for responding so quickly & leaving a cute post on my blog! I tried the chips with store bought Wilson tortillas. Huge success! Today, I had a couple of raw Costco ones in the fridge with some left-over butter from last night. I gave it a try. I first cooked them as they suggest on the package. I then, let it cool, and forgot to cut it before putting the butter & sugar on it. So, when I took it out of the oven, I cut it up and thought, hey, I have more butter & sugar, so I turned turned them over, buttered, & sugared, and put 'em back into the oven for a couple more minutes. They are super yummy! Seriously though, who could go wrong with more butter & sugar? Thank you!
I made these with multi-grain tortillas, and they were still good! Next time I’m buying the good old white kind, because I’m sure they’ll taste even better! My bils were also impressed with these.
Jodi, I’ve often wondered the same thing, but I’ve yet to try it with the raw tortillas. I’m not sure if they will bake up the same, but ya I’d probably cook them as normal and then bake. Next time I use those I will experiment- let me know if you try anything too!
Have you made these with the Costco uncooked tortillas? How would I use them? Cook them first. Cool. Then butter, sugar, slice, bake….???? Any suggestions? Happy Belated Birthday!
haha, you’re lame bro! If you tasted these you’d totally approve of the tiny ingredient list 🙂
