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
Could you make these a day ahead for a party? Or would it be best same day? Thanks!
If using uncooked tortillas, would I cook them first or just go straight to the butter?
You know, I’ve never done them with fresh tortillas so I’m really not sure. I’d actually try it both ways and see what works best (and then let me know! lol)
Just wondering if you could use corn tortillas with this recipe? I have Celiac Disease and so am gluten intollerant. These little guys along with the fruit salsa sound really good!
Sorry, just saw the earlier post asking the same thing… never mind, I’ll take a crack at it w/the corn. Thanks! 🙂
Made this using whole grain tortillas and brushed with coconut oil. It was SUPER DELICIOUS! My kids loved it and I felt good giving it to them!
Hey Drew, you must not have to make three meals and two snacks every day for a hungry family! I love to see three ingredients once in a while! 🙂 Thanks for the yummy recipe!
These were simple and tasty. Great dipped in whipped cream.
We made these at our home summer camp with my girls' friends. Each kid got a tortilla shell and melted butter. Then I let them chose an extract to mix in with the butter before spreading on the tortilla. They turned out fantastic with coconut extract by far being the best. Thanks so much!
Chaviva- I've never tried corn before with this recipe, but I know you can definitely bake your own corn chips so I assume it would work. If you could find or make gluten free pitas those would work really well too.
Wondering: Could you use CORN tortillas? If you're gluten free? Or is there something else you'd recommend?
Totally back you up on the three ingredient or less thing. We live in Antigua in the Caribbean and need lots of portable food for the beach. This one is great! Any ideas on calzone?
